Industrial Applications
Due to their extremely high acquisition speeds and real-time image correction features, the HySpex cameras are well suited for a wide variety of industrial applications such as material inspection or quality control.
In a typical industrial application, the HySpex camera is mounted statically above a conveyer belt, as shown in the picture below, using the belt motion for scanning.
Using the VNIR-640 and 1 meter working distance as an example; the field of view is ~30 cm and the pixel footprint on the conveyer belt is 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm. With these settings and full spectral range and resolution, the maximum speed of the conveyer belt is 25 cm/s if square pixels are required. If rectangular pixels are permissible, or the spectral range or resolution can be reduced, the belt speed can be increased drastically.
Different industries are today employing hyperspectral imaging:
- Food and nutrition industry.
- Paper industry.
- Textile industry.
- Pharmaceutical industry.
- Chemical industry.
- Color printing.
- Mining.
- Waste/recycling.
Supporting equipment considered mandatory in an industrial hyperspectral imaging system are:
- Computer (the airborne computers will be used for industrial applications).
- Illumination.
- Close-up lenses.
