Hyperspectral Imaging – Seeing is Believing A cell phone picture has three primary bands (red, green, and blue) that recreate what the human eye sees. But, what if you want or need to see more? Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) uses thousands of specific bands (think hundreds of different segments of blue, green, red, and even going beyond the visible spectrum!) to pick up the unique response of what you are imaging. So instead of just having a gorgeous picture of that sunflower in a field, you now can tell its lignin content, health, and even begin to model it’s CO2 interactions. The wavelength bands in HSI provide a high-level of spectral and radiometric accuracy that makes the imagery particularly useful in a number of industries including energy, environmental monitoring, agriculture, constr
