SWIR Hyperspectral Imager

As light in the shortwave infrared region (SWIR, 900-1700 nm) penetrates deeper and is not interfered by visible light, SWIR hyperspectral imaging offers a number of advantages compared to visible when used for remote sensing, inspection, sorting, surveillance, quality control, and host of other applications.

DESCRIPTION

The SWIR Hyperspectral Imager is a miniaturized push-broom hyperspectral camera covering the full SWIR (900-1700 nm) wavelength range. It features ultra-compactness (17 cm x 7 cm x 9 cm) and light weight (~820 g) with fast data transfer rates (up to 50 fps). As an innovative “true push-broom” imager: one can simply use a hand to move the imager or sample to finish the scan. Not depending on a constant scanning speed has enabled OCI-FSWIR versatility on vast platforms such as UAVs, with perfect hyperspectral imaging stitching. Compactness, fast imaging, simple operation, and intuitive software make the OCI-FSWIR very straightforward.
