What is hyerspectral imaging?
Hyperspectral imaging reveals the invisible and generates an in-depth understanding of phenomena and objects studied.

The human eye, like a normal colour camera, acquires light in three bands, red, green and blue. Spectral imaging divides the spectrum into many more bands where hyperspectral sensors look at objects using a vast portion of the electromagnetic specrtum. The term "hyper" in a hyperspectral camera means "over" as in very many and this type of camera provides ample spectral information to identify and distinguigh spectrally-unique materials.

A hyperspectral camera captures the object or scene line-by-line and this line is split into its spectral components before reaching the sensor. In general, hyperspectral sensors measure bands at 10 ot 20 nm intervals. The resultant image consists of dozens to hundreds of narrow, adjacent and data-rich spectral bands, every pixel of which can then be used to characterise the objects under review with great precision and detail. Consequently, hyperspectral imaging leads to a greatly improved ability to classify the objects based on their spectral signatures as well as enabling proccess control capabilities beyond what has been traditionally possible.

Applications for hyperspectral imaging
Hyperspectral cameras are designed for applications that require a high resolution and distortion-free image on the detector and this type of capture is valuable in applications where there is a need to distinguish between spectrally similar materials. Uses for hyperspectral cameras include:

• Monitoring crop vigor and disease treatment • Land cover classification and fire management • Environmental impact of disasters
• High speed drill core analysis • Colour-quality control in textile manufacturing • Separating crime scene details
• Mineral mapping • Species detection • National intelligence
• Chemical imaging • Scientific research • Material classification

SisuRock - core imaging        
Geological samples, such as drill cores, can rapidly be mapped for nearly all minerals of commercial interest with hyperspectral imaging. sisuROCK generates an image where each pixel contains a full spectrum, unique to each mineral of interest. High speed, automated computer algorithms identify the minerals and convert the data into mineral maps of the samples depictured.
