Hyperspectral Camera Applications
Food Safety
Addressing the critical challenge of pathogenic microorganisms, including salmonella, listeria, and E. coli, in foods is paramount for consumer safety and the food industry. Failure to detect these pathogens can lead to severe outbreaks of food-borne illnesses, causing an annual economic burden exceeding $100 billion and over four hundred thousand global deaths. Traditional detection methods are costly, involve complex sample preparation, and take days to yield results, exacerbating the severity of outbreaks.
Hinalea Imaging introduces a groundbreaking solution for rapid and reliable pathogen detection. Their self-contained system integrates hyperspectral imaging, microscopy, and deep machine learning, featuring automated sample loading and detection. Collaboration with the USDA has showcased rapid pathogen identification in under 4 hours, significantly reducing the time for diagnosis and response, transforming pathogen detection from a laborious lab process to a user-friendly point-of-care solution.
Food Quality
Conventional machine vision systems struggle with the stringent evaluation of food and agricultural products, utilizing color video cameras with RGB filters that fall short in modern processing environments. Hyperspectral Imaging emerges as the next-generation technology, offering high spectral and spatial resolution for comprehensive inspection. It can extend into the UV or IR range, revealing details on chemical and structural composition beyond visible spectrum capabilities.
Hyperspectral imaging provides manufacturers with added spectral information, enhancing quality assurance in various food safety and quality areas. This includes detecting foreign objects, identifying mechanical damage, and measuring food quality attributes like ripeness, decay, freshness, and ingredient homogeneity.
Precision Agriculture
With a global population approaching 9 billion, the agriculture industry faces increasing pressure to enhance crop yield and farm productivity amidst economic challenges and climate change impacts. Precision agriculture is recognized as a potential solution, leveraging technology to respond to inter and intra-field variability in crops, enabling farmers to do more with less.
Hinalea Imaging’s intelligent hyperspectral imaging solutions support precision agriculture, integrating state-of-the-art hardware with custom machine learning algorithms. These solutions, deployable on static mounts, UAVs, or other vehicles, provide added spectral information for applications such as monitoring plant health, hydration, weed mapping, disease detection, and optimizing harvesting.
Industrial & Defense
Beyond food supply chain optimization, Hinalea collaborates with customers to address diverse industrial and remote sensing challenges. Projects span aerial surveillance for threat detection, identification of chemical degradation in pipes, quality assurance of electrical components and displays, inspection of packaging, and classification of raw materials.
Hinalea adapts its imaging platform to specific customer requirements, offering configurable solutions for various environments. Examples include a UAV-mounted SWIR imager for real-time imaging and classification, a crawler-mounted imager for inspecting pipes in environmentally hazardous areas, an integrated in-line quality assurance system for product grading, and a stand-alone end-of-line quality assurance system for quality sampling.
