Hyperspectral Imaging Applications

Hyperspectral imaging provides far more color (spectral) information than conventional digital camera imaging, thereby enabling superior machine vision sorting and characterization.

For additional background on Hyperspectral imaging, please see our knowledge base. More detailed background can be found in the partial listing of research publications involving Resonon's imaging spectrometers.

Applications

Airborne - Whether flying in UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or mounted in manned aircraft, Hyperspectral Imaging technology provides timely, low cost, high resolution data for a variety of applications.

Precision Agriculture -Using the power of Hyperspectral imaging crop managers now have a tool for identifying weeds and stress for smarter application of control measures.

Pharma - Seeing beyond the visible allows for careful classification of chemical ingredients and counterfeit substances.

Research, Biotech and Medical - With Hyperspectral imaging multiple dyes can be used in a single test reducing cost and improving productivity Electrophoreses (dye marking of separated proteins). This is just one example in a broad field of research and study.

Art, Antiquities and Color - Hyperspectral imaging allows non-contact inspection and analysis of precious artifacts and works of art. Color can now be spectrally quantified across a broad area.

Ecology - Helping to protect our natural resources, Resonon's Hyperspectral imagers provide researchers a valuable tool for measuring ecological change.

Food - Hyperspectral imaging provides color information many times greater than that of standard RGB technology. Improved color acuity provides processors and scientists new tools for quality and material classification.

Security and Defense - Hyperspectral imaging allows analysts to classify man-made materials, distinguishing them from the natural surroundings.

Thin Films - As a method of quality control Hyperspectral imaging provides objective data quickly over a wide area.
