Three use cases for hyperspectral imaging outside the lab

When it comes to hyperspectral imaging, these are the three most common requests from customers

  1. smaller form factors
  2. broader spectrum capabilities
  3. video-rate acquisition

That’s why those are the domains on which the imec researchers put their focus. And it’s paying off. Thanks to progress in hardware and system design, we’ve been able to develop breakthrough camera systems that allow exciting applications:

  • the mobile version of the SNAPSCAN VNIR
  • the SNAPSHOT SWIR
  • the first UAV hyperspectral imaging platform
