Aviation
In the aerospace industry, hyperspectral imaging systems are used for satellite-based remote sensing and can also increasingly be found in so-called UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles = drones). Fiber-optic-based sensor systems are also used in development – in composite component bending tests, for example.
Applications
Automotive
In the automotive industry, fiber-optic sensor systems are mainly used in research and development. Temperature and strain profiles help to optimize existing models, generate a deeper understanding of thermal process workflows and identify potential weak points within mechanical systems.
Applications
Remote Sensing Hyperspectral Imaging
Agriculture and food
Hyperspectral imaging, in particular, opens up new horizons both in the quality control of agricultural products and in food production. The multispectral analysis of chemical composition goes far beyond the possibilities of classic machine vision. Hyperspectral imaging is already being used in field crop harvesting, in poultry production and in quality assurance in food production.
Applications
Food Safety & Quality Hyperspectral Imaging
