Hyperspectral Imaging Applications

Discover the benefits of hyperspectral imaging for your application. Hyperspectral imaging creates data-rich images that reveal important attributes about a landscape, a product, or a sample in a non-destructive and non-invasive manner. By capturing the full spectrum of light, it allows you to discover, identify, measure, inspect, grade, or sort food, pharmaceuticals, plants, minerals, infrastructure. Headwall hyperspectral imaging systems are used in airborne and ground-based systems, benchtop laboratory systems, as well as in industrial inspection systems, and can be used in a wide variety of applications.
