Compact, low-cost and fast hyperspectral imaging solution

January 25, 2012

San Francisco, Calif. , and Leuven, Belgium – January 24, 2012 –  Today at SPIE Photonics West 2012,  imec has demonstrated a hyperspectral camera solution based on a system-on-chip image sensor with an integrated hyperspectral sensor. Imec’s solution is fast and enables small and cost-efficient camera-solutions. It targets multiple industrial vision applications.

Hyperspectral cameras combine spectroscopy and imaging, and by doing this, they can e.g. discriminate between different objects that cannot be accurately distinguished using traditional RGB (red-green-blue) imaging methods. The technology can be very useful in many application domains such as crop screening, food … Read More → "Compact, low-cost and fast hyperspectral imaging solution"
