Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) is an advanced imaging technology that captures and processes information across a wide spectrum of wavelengths, far beyond what the human eye can see. By collecting data in hundreds of contiguous spectral bands, HSI provides both spatial and spectral information for every pixel in an image — enabling precise identification, classification, and analysis of materials.
The hyperspectral imaging activities at NEO started in 1995 with the HISS (Hyperspectral Imager for Small Satellites) project for ESA. The R&D activities in hyperspectral imaging have been internally funded through commercialization of the technology together with participation in several EU projects, as well as projects funded by the Ministry of Defense, the Norwegian Research Council, etc. Today, HySpex is established as an industry-leading brand for both airborne and ground-based hyperspectral imaging. HySpex sensors are renowned for their stability, flexibility and superior data quality.
