hyperspectral Insights

What is hyperspectral?

Hyperspectral imaging, also known as imaging spectroscopy, captures hundreds of narrow, contiguous spectral bands for each pixel in an image. This allows for detailed analysis of the composition and properties of materials. It's commonly used in remote sensing, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnostics to identify and classify objects based on their unique spectral signatures.

hyperspectral Competitor Technologies

multispectral

Multispectral imaging captures data in a few, relatively broad spectral bands, whereas hyperspectral imaging captures data in many narrow, contiguous spectral bands. Multispectral is often a lower-cost alternative to hyperspectral.
