Hyperspectral cameras

Acquire far more image detail with a Hyperspectral Camera

Using a Hyperspectral camera, for Machine Vision, results in more process-control capabilities by revealing the invisible. Using this type of camera, generating a greater depth of understanding of phenomena and objects studied. Combining the tools of digital imaging and spectroscopy, the complete spectral band of each pixel is captured by the camera and used to specify each part of the capture with high accuracy and detail. The human eye, like a normal colour camera, acquires light in three bands, red, green and blue which is not the most efficient method of object-classification. On the other hand, a hyperspectral camera divides the spectrum into many more colour bands and classifies objects according to their spectrally-unique properties thus vastly improving object ientification.

Learn how a hyperspectral camera works

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. Consequently, hyperspectral imaging leads to a greatly improved ability to classify the objects based on their spectral signatures as well as enabling process 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.


See Beyond the Visible with Hyperspectral Imaging

Reveal what conventional imaging cannot. Hyperspectral cameras capture rich spectral data at every pixel, enabling precise material identification, improved process control, and advanced analysis across applications from agriculture and mining to forensics and industrial inspection.
