ImSPOC: A Novel Compact Hyperspectral Camera for the Monitoring of Atmospheric Gases

There is an increasing industrial and scientific demand for large scale monitoring of gas concentration, e.g., to abide with constraints on pollutants for environmental safety. This paper aims to show the potential of the very recent ImSPOC technology for gas monitoring. We present the ImSPOC operating principle, some of the developed prototypes and two illustrative examples in the monitoring of methane and carbon dioxide in controlled environments.
