Prism-based cameras for high fidelity colour and NIR inspection

Developments in multispectral sensor technology

Multispectral imaging allows for the capture of targeted wavebands across the visible and near-infrared spectrum for specific machine vision tasks. When designing an imaging system in the visible and near-infrared spectrum it is important to consider if you need high fidelity colour and specific near-infrared bands and then evaluate the technical trade-offs between using prism-based sensor cameras and Bayer mosaic sensor cameras.
