Why hyperspectral for industrial inspection?

Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) was originally developed for remote sensing applications involving imagery from aircraft and satellites, but has now become a powerful commercially viable technique for industrial machine vision applications.

Hyperspectral imaging sensors can…

HSI sensors act like thousands, even millions of spectrometers providing chemical signatures from the reflected light at each pixel. Our sensors cover wavelength ranges beyond those visible to the human eye, from the ultraviolet and visible (UV-VIS) to the near-infrared (VNIR, NIR, and SWIR) wavelength ranges.

We’re ahead of the pack

Machine learning and artificial intelligence powered software such as perClass Mira® assist in building classification models and enable real-time processing. Model development is fast and intuitive with perClass Mira controlling our MV-series systems and scanning systems, and allows a range of users with different levels of expertise in machine vision, quality monitoring, and process analytical applications both inside and outside of production environments.

The latest generation of sensors, like the Headwall MV.C VNIR and MV.C NIR, are small and rugged for use in harsh environments, including food inspection facilities. Thousands of hyperspectral sensors are used every day to sort plastics for recycling, and reproducibility from one instrument to the next is a critical requirement where inspection accuracy across numerous lines must be maintained.
