Hyperspectral Imaging

The composition of many industrial products is measured using near-infrared spectroscopy. For many of these applications, hyperspectral imaging can extend the sample measurement to an entire surface area. The multi-point measurement of the spectra of an extended sample is called hyperspectral imaging, because each point on the sample surface has its individual spectrum measured. The spectra can be interpreted to determine chemical identity or chemical composition of each point on the sample. The visual representation of such information is called chemical imaging. The samples can be small or large, stationary, or moving with a constant speed on a conveyor or other transport system.

Some industries in which hyperspectral imaging can be applied include:

• pharmaceutical
• biomedical
• semi-conductor / solar
• food industries
• paper / textile industries
