A spectrophotometric camera and method for measuring spectral energy in
different wavelength bands at a plurality of locations are disclosed. The
spectrophotometric camera comprises: a light source for sequentially
producing light in different wavelength bands; an imaging device
containing an array of sensors for detecting light at a plurality of
locations; and a reference detector and an adjusting device for adjusting
the light detected by the array of sensors. Spectral reflectance data
from each of the plurality of locations on the surface of a target for
each wavelength band in the plurality of light wavelength bands is
measured. Spectral reflectance images are created, and features are
extracted from the spectral reflectance images.
