Norsk Elektro Optikk Establishes HySpex GmbH

BERLIN, Nov. 6, 2024 — Electro optics research company Norsk Elektro Optikk (NEO) has opened a new branch of its hyperspectral imaging-focused subsidiary HySpex in Berlin. HySpex GmbH will serve as a sales and support hub for both new and existing European clients with a broader aim of strengthening NEO’s European presence.

In addition to supporting traditional market segments, HySpex GmbH will focus on expanding HySpex’s role as an OEM provider for industrial suppliers and exploring new opportunities within the space industry. “We’ve already witnessed the positive impact of local support for our clients through HySpex Inc., our office in the U.S.,” said NEO CCO Hallvard Skjerping. “This new office will help us build on that success.”

HySpex GmbH will be headed by Andreas Eisele and Maximilian Brell. Eisele previously held managerial and directorship roles in sales at UP42 and SphereOptics GmbH, respectively, while Brell served as a research associate for GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences – Potsdam and as a remote sensing expert at IABG.

Glossary

electro-optics: 1. The branch of physics that deals with the use of electrical energy to create or manipulate light waves, generally by changing the refractive index of a light-propagating material; 2. Collectively, the devices used to affect the intersection of electrical energy and light. Compare with optoelectronics.
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...
