Hyperspectral Imaging

Learn More
Imaging for physico-chemical properties in building materials.
Hyperspectral imaging is commonly used to detect chemical fingerprints of corrosion products and other biological and chemical contaminants in structural materials, including porous materials, plastics, paints, and coatings.
Example Client: Mount Sinai Hospital

Scan for Water Leaks

These underrated problems can easily cascade into serious issues such as structural corrosion, interior damage, and mold. Hyperspectral imaging can help trace issues, including mold growth, without poking holes into the structure. Checkout the robots that use the hyperspectral imaging system below:
Building

Examine Surface Treatment Integrity

Damaged surface treatments can result in corrosion propagating from one area. In defense applications, this also has radar implications. Our cameras can quickly spot subtle degradation in coated areas so that repairs are minimized.
Ship

Key Features

High Resolution Low-Light Capability

Resolve nuanced material defects even at night.

Image Mapping

Location data can be used to map out inspection routes for convenient review, eliminates mistakes and second-guessing.

See More

Images can map mold and moisture infiltration in porous materials and map degraded paint and coatings.

Remote Operation

Operable from a distance using hardline communication to reach difficult spaces.

Modular Design

Easily swapped with other aRC instruments like radar scanning, ultrasound, and infrared.


Technical Specifications

Waveband Coverage

Hyperspectral imagers (HSI) see in hundreds of colors across the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet wavebands. This allows us to characterize surface chemical composition using spectroscopy.

Material Detection

HSI can detect materials with subpar physical properties and degradation in aged materials.

Versatility

The versatility of these imaging tools allows us to work on buildings, ships, roads, bridges, pipelines, etc.

Applicable for specialty inspections in numerous industries.
With our full stack fabrication services, we additionally incorporate custom imaging tools into form factors optimized for a given target. Custom solutions can be surprisingly affordable both up front and in the long run - let us share a proposal.

Applications

Mold Detection

Detect areas with mold growth in waterlogged structures from a distance.

Coating Analysis

Map out damaged coatings on large areas of pipelines, structural steel, and other structures.

On-Site Chemical Mapping

Map out areas on large work sites contaminated with hazardous chemicals. Designate hazardous zones and safe corridors for personnel in chemical clean-up or CBRN operations.

Threat Detection

Use wavelengths other than infrared to counter camouflaged threats (defense application).
