Hyperspectral Imaging Beyond RGB
Resonon designs pushbroom hyperspectral imaging cameras that capture hundreds of spectral bands simultaneously, delivering per-pixel spectral data across the full visible and non-visible spectrum.
Unlike standard cameras that capture only three colour channels, hyperspectral cameras provide a full spectral fingerprint for every pixel — enabling the identification and classification of materials based on their unique optical properties rather than visual appearance alone.
Resonon systems are specified when inspection requires reliable material discrimination, contamination identification or chemical analysis at production-line speed — capability that is fundamentally impossible with conventional imaging.
Core Capabilities
Pushbroom Hyperspectral Cameras
Line-scan hyperspectral imagers covering UV, VNIR, NIR and SWIR spectral ranges, capturing hundreds of spectral bands simultaneously for detailed material characterisation.
Material Classification & Identification
Hyperspectral imaging enables reliable classification of materials with visually similar appearances but distinct spectral signatures — ideal for sorting, grading and contaminant detection.
Integrated Hyperspectral Systems
Complete turnkey systems including camera, lens, illumination and software — designed for laboratory and inline industrial deployment.
Chemical & Compositional Differentiation
Detect chemical composition, moisture content, ripeness and contamination where conventional RGB imaging cannot resolve material differences.
Multi-Spectral Band Processing
High spectral resolution combined with spatial imaging enables simultaneous spectral data collection across the full scene for per-pixel material analysis.
Agricultural & Food Inspection
Widely deployed in food safety, agricultural sorting and pharmaceutical inspection where precise material identification is essential to product integrity.
Typical Application Areas
