San Francisco (USA) and Leuven (Belgium) – At SPIE Photonics West 2012, imec demonstrates 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 selection, skin cancer detection, … Read More → "Compact, low-cost and fast hyperspectral imaging solution"
