Acousto-optic tunable filters have ben well documented throughout the last 30 years. Unfortunately, although the filtering characteristics of these system have been explored until recently little has been done with regards to the data analysis or exploring the advantages of processing multi- spectral information. Here we use the wavelet transform to process multiple banded images like ones acquired in an acousto optical system. We demonstrate the uses of spectrally sensitive wavelets to detect a small object presents by suing an arbitrary low-resolution image in a high clutter background.
