Infrared camera and Hyperspectral Imaging system reshaping the industrial sector

Infrared cameras and hyperspectral imaging systems are on a path to radically transform the industrial sector in unprecedented ways.

With its ability to capture high-resolution spectral images and detect even the slightest variations in color, hyperspectral imaging is poised to become an essential tool in quality control, material inspection, and product development. Infrared imaging, on the other hand, can be used for material inspection, process monitoring, machine vision, and safety inspections giving information in the infrared spectrum. As infrared and hyperspectral imaging continues to advance, its potential to revolutionize the industrial sector is enormous.

Photon etc. has an important role to play in these industrial subsectors. With our advanced photonic technology, we offer cutting-edge solutions that improve productivity, reduce production costs and increase safety.

Currently our technology empowers four sub-sectors in the industrial field :

Waste & Recycling

In the material sorting subsector, we optimize waste management with advanced optical sensors that detect and separate different types of materials based on their unique optical properties. This results in more efficient and accurate sorting of recyclable materials, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill.

Waste & Recycling

Defence & Security

Delivering 100% ITAR-free SWIR and eSWIR imaging systems, our actionable hyperspectral solutions bypass environmental obscurants to provide mission-critical data for target identification, object signature recognition (MASINT), and tactical surveillance in degraded visual environments.

Defence & Security

Mining & Geology

In the mining subsector, we use photonic technology to improve mineral detection, enabling more precise exploration of mineral deposits and more efficient extraction of minerals. The combination of hyperspectral with other types of optical sensors (LIBS, XRF, LIF) can be used for precise geological analysis, reducing costs and waste in the extraction process.

Infrared Camera and Hyperspectral Imager: What is the Difference?

The ZephIR 2.5e is a broadband camera that captures grayscale images in the infrared spectrum. These images can offer valuable insights into temperature distribution and other physical properties of the objects imaged. It can also be combined with filters in order to highlight key physical properties of its subject. The ZephIR 2.5e is an area camera that captures fixed images or video streams in the infrared spectrum, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including industrial and scientific research, medical imaging, and monitoring.

In contrast to traditional imaging techniques that capture images in only three spectral bands (red, green, and blue) per pixel, the L-EOS, a hyperspectral imaging system, captures hundreds of spectral bands stacked in each pixel, forming a hyperspectral data cube. This unique capability allows for highly detailed and comprehensive spectral analysis of the imaged objects. However, it’s worth noting that the L-EOS requires either motion from the object or the camera itself to acquire the data cube, as it creates an image by scanning one row at the time. Hyperspectral data cube provides more information than single band imaging, making it suitable for material sorting and in-depth analysis.
