Headwall Photonics’ Hyperspec Selected for Airborne Apps

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
FITCHBURG, Mass., May 9, 2012 — Headwall Photonics announced that its Hyperspec short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensors were selected for airborne applications after the successful completion of rigorous performance testing at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). Hyperspectral imaging allows the identification of objects within the sensor’s field of view based on the target’s chemical “fingerprint” or spectral signature. Based on a patented sensor design, Headwall’s Hyperspec sensors are designed specifically for high spectral and spatial imaging in harsh operating environments such as...Read full article

    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...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
