Headwall Partners with Ocean Spray on Spectral Imaging for Agriculture

Ocean Spray Cranberries Inc. will try to improve the quality and yield of its cranberries using spectral imaging systems from Headwall Photonics Inc.

The two companies will cooperate to test a new class of machine vision inspection capabilities for real-time assessment of product quality for many different types of agricultural processing applications.

Headwall has supplied customized multispectral and hyperspectral technology to the U.S. Department of Defense, NASA, the Treasury Department and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Glossary

hyperspectral imaging: Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced imaging technique that captures and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike traditional imaging systems that record only a few spectral bands (such as red, green, and blue in visible light), hyperspectral imaging collects data in numerous contiguous bands, covering a wide range of wavelengths. This extended spectral coverage enables detailed analysis and characterization of materials based on their spectral signatures. Key...
machine vision: Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
