A set of multi-channel camera systems and algorithms is described for recovering both the surface spectral- reflectance function and the illuminant spectral-power distribution from the data of spectral imaging. We show the camera system with six spectral channels of fixed wavelength bands. This system is created by using a monochrome CCD camera, six different color filters, and a personal computer. The dynamic range of the camera is extended for sensing the high intensity level of highlights. We suppose in a scene that the object surface of an inhomogeneous dielectric material is described by the dichromatic reflection model. The process for estimating the spectral information is composed of several steps of (1) the finite- dimensional linear model representation of wavelength functions, (2) illuminant estimation, (3) data normalization and image segmentation, (4) reflectance estimation. The reliability of the camera system and the algorithms is demonstrated in an experiment. Finally a new type of system using liquid crystal filters is briefly introduced.
