Hyperspectral imaging for 100%-inspection of surfaces and films

Press release (Nr. XIV) - Fraunhofer IWS /

The hyperspectral imaging technology (HIS) perfectly meets the aspiration “to see more than the eye allows”. This novel camera technology enables to image light not only in a spatial but additionally in spectral resolution. To get dedicated sample information, it is now possible to analyze up to thousand spectral bands whereas formerly only three spectral bands (RGB) could be used. Fraunhofer IWS scientists have developed an integrated HSI solution, which implements the po-tential of the HSI technology into reliable hard- and software. The IWS technolo-gy is highly suitable for applications in the fields of surface and film inspection. Fraunhofer IWS will present the measuring system imanto® obsidian at the tradeshow LASER World of PHOTONICS in Munich.
