Endless Possibilities
Agriculture
With the effects of climate change potentially reducing the world’s available arable land and a growing global population to feed, the agriculture industry must find ways to maximise output and optimise resource use.
Real-time monitoring
Hyperspectral imaging can provide non-destructive, real-time monitoring that goes beyond the outer layers of the plant to reveal critical metrics related to crop health and growth.
Data-driven decisions
Hyperspectral data empowers farmers to make smart, data-driven decisions in order to optimise resource utilisation and enhance output.
Reduce food waste
Better estimates for yield and product shelf life to optimise distribution and reduce food waste.
Sensing at Range and National Security
Hyperspectral Imaging transforms computer vision capabilities for a range of use cases, including National Security. With hyperspectral sensors, autonomous systems can detect and monitor objects in an image based on more than just colour and shape.
Identify objects
Identify objects and segment images based on spectral information rather than only colour and shape.
Tag and track objects
Use unique spectral signatures or tags to find and/or track objects of interest in real time and improve confidence at time of object reacquisition.
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)
A range of potential homeland security and defence use cases for surveillance and reconnaissance.
Healthcare
HSI offers a non-invasive tool with diagnostic and surgical applications. HSI can image human tissue, returning a number of key properties without the need for ionising radiation (e.g., X-ray or CT), large equipment (e.g., MRI), or the use of dyes to help differentiate between similarly coloured tissues.
Differentiate tissue
Distinguish between different types of tissue based on their spectral signatures, including tumours vs healthy tissue or well-perfused vs not well-perfused tissue (whether they are receiving adequate circulation).
Improve diagnostic accuracy
A relatively cheap and simple method of improving diagnostics accuracy, i.e., reducing false positives and negatives.
Save valuable time
Better triaging through improved dermoscopy accuracy, such that specialist healthcare professionals can spend more time with the patients who need treatment and less time with false positives.
Colourimetry
Quantify the true colour of your products with hyperspectral imaging. Release products knowing how they will look in any lighting condition. Remove uncertainty and guesswork from your workflow, ensuring color consistency and quality control.
Counterfeit identification
Differentiate visually identical objects. It's much harder to fool hyperspectral cameras than the human eye.
Colour matching
A solution for retail colour matching, ensuring purchased items go together even if they are manufactured in different locations or using different raw materials, reducing the number of costly returns.
Detailed information
Prove the origin of substances used in textile production, including identifying chemicals used during manufacture to ensure the quality of products received and prevent the use of banned substances.
Our HSI Solution
Living Optics is designing a next-generation system, providing hyperspectral information for a wide variety of tasks in multiple use cases based on the ability to:
Detect
Spot otherwise invisible problems before it’s too late
Identify
Differentiate between objects that are visually identical using the naked eye or traditional cameras
Segment
Separate objects no matter the conditions, cut through glare and shadows, and differentiate between the background, foreground, and camera noise
Track
Follow moving objects more accurately using hyperspectral information invisible to human eyes and RGB systems
