Hyperspectral Imaging
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
• Hyperspectral imaging is the analysis of images using a
large number of channels (corresponding to spectrum
intervals).
• The distinction between hyperspectral and multispectral is
not defined by a set number of spectral bands. It is best
defined by the manner in which the data is collected:
– Hyperspectral data is a set of contiguous bands (usually by
one sensor).
– Multispectral is a set of optimally chosen spectral bands that
are typically not contiguous (usually by multiple sensors).
• Capturing the same object on many bands of the spectrum
to generate a data cube can reveal objects and information
that more limited scanners can not pick up.

Why Emerging Technology?
• The human eye’s abilities are very limited:
– We cannot see beneath the skin to see early-stage cancer;
– We cannot look at a field and tell water content, fertilizer
level or growth maturation;
– We cannot look at a burn and tell what the oxyhemaglobin
level is in order to assure a healthy healing process.
– We cannot look at a raw chicken and know you are at risk
for E-coli.
…But ET Corp’s hyperspectral camera CAN provide the high-
tech tool & track record for this research!

Why Emerging Technology?
• ET’s hyperspectral cameras
extend the frequency range of
human sight by over 1000%;
• ET’s hyperspectral cameras
can be used for at dozens
different applications simply
by swapping out some of the
software.
• ET’s hyperspectral cameras
improve both the quality of
life and the processes of
medical research, food
production, resource
management and security in
ways that non-technical
people can easily understand.
• ET’s hyperspectral cameras is
easy to operate and produces
information specific to its
market segments.
