Reconfigurable Multispectral Imaging System Design and Implementation with FPGA Control

Multispectral imaging plays an important role in fields such as environmental monitoring and industrial inspection. To meet the demands for high spatial resolution, portability, and multi-scenario use, this study presents a reconfigurable 2 × 3 multispectral camera-array imaging system. The system features a modular architecture, allowing for the flexible exchange of lenses and narrowband filters. Each camera node is equipped with an FPGA that performs real-time sensor control and data preprocessing. A companion host program, based on the GigE Vision protocol, was developed for synchronous control, multi-channel real-time visualization, and unified parameter configuration. End-to-end performance verification confirmed stable, lossless, and synchronous acquisition from all six 3072 × 2048-pixel resolution channels. Following field alignment, the 16 mm lens achieves an effective 4.7 MP spatial resolution. Spectral profile measurements further confirm that the system exhibits favorable spectral response characteristics. The proposed framework provides a high-resolution and flexible solution for portable multispectral imaging.
