PIMICS: OPTICS FOR DEVELOPMENT
Prof. John Howell, developed a low-cost multi-spectral or hyper-spectral camera with many potential applications for developing regions, sponsored by the ICO.
PIMICS Project
A hyperspectral system for basic research with resource constrained 
                      
budgets.
                  In 2023, John Howell was President of the ICO and he had an idea of making a low-cost multi-spectral or hyper-spectral camera from the Raspberry Pi. This was announced at the Optics and Photonics Africa 2023 conference in South Africa. The goal was to use the Raspberry Pi, its camera, and the general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins to drive LEDs and/or filter wheels for building multispectral cameras.
