Indatech - Model HypeReal - NIR Hyperspectral Imaging System Datasheet

Push broom imaging is a technique for acquiring hyperspectral images or hyperspectral imaging. Each pixel of the image will thus contain an NIR or visible spectrum. This technology uses one dimension of a 2D sensor to measure a line of the sample (x dimension). Dedicated optics in the system separate the wavelengths over the other dimension of the sample. In order to measure the whole product, the sample needs to move in order to acquire another line below the previous one. The full data obtained is called a Hypercube ; it will contain the complete image with a spectrum for each pixel.
