Abstract

The main objective of this project is the implementation of a demonstrator of a super-spectral EO payload - working in the VIS-MIR - with enhanced performance in terms of at-ground spatial resolution, onboard data processing and encryption functionalities. This goal will be achieved by using Spatial Light Modulators (SLM) and Compressive Sensing (CS) technologies. These technologies will be used to increase the at-ground spatial resolution. In addition, the CS approach will offer further advantages with reference to the handling of large amount of data, as expected in the case of super-spectral payloads with wide spectral and spatial coverage, and to the possibility of encrypting data.
