Applied Spectral Imaging http://www.spectral-imaging.com/website/webpages/cyto.html

Applied Spectral Imaging has developed a new approach to imaging called SpectraCube® a worldwide patented spectral imaging technology which combines conventional imaging with spectroscopy. SpectraCube® has the ability to reveal information normally invisible to conventional imaging systems.

SKY™ has changed the field of cytogenetics (medical diagnostics) by allowing every chromosome, marker and translocation to be colour coded without previous knowledge of the chromosomes involved. New applications in pathology, microbiology, haematology, gene-based cancer detection systems and catheter-based endoscopic systems as well as remote sensing and other fields are currently being developed.

This is a very good site and worth the time spent visiting it.

Abstract - Frank A. Boyle http://asa.aip.org/web2/asa/abstracts/search3/asa580.html

"Acoustic returns from different types of structures can appear very similar, making acoustic image classification difficult. Current research is aimed toward developing novel methods of generating acoustic images that convey relevant information for target identification and classification. A colour-mapping method (Boyle and Chotiros, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 99(4), 2553(A) (1996)), which maps an image's spectral content into colour has been applied to several examples of broadband acoustic data, with apparent success. Structural features that produce similar echoes in amplitude and duration often emerge with clear differences in colour according to their spectral signature. Possibilities for using colour to convey acoustic properties other than spectral content are also being explored. One such method maps the phase of a signal into colours, while another is based on wavelet filtering of signals."
