Award of Supply, Delivery and Commissioning of a Hyperspectral Imaging System

Tender description

Award of Supply, Delivery and Commissioning of a Hyperspectral Imaging System The University of Strathclyde has procured hyperspectral imaging equipment to support current and future research activity. The equipment is a fully integrated hyperspectral imaging system capable of capturing hyperspectral data cubes from the Ultraviolet (UV) through to the Short Wave Infra-Red (SWIR). The procured solution provides all necessary hardware and software required to gather full hyperspectral data cubes covering the UV - SWIR spectral range. The equipment will be used to support research activity in a range of applications including inspection, online monitoring and process control. In particular, research will explore new ways in which this technology can be added to production lines to inspect products for: defects; product consistency and early detection of contaminants or other artefacts. While HSI technology is advanced and provides information rich datasets, interpreting these is not always trivial and thus complementary research in the area of developing innovative techniques to process HSI data and convert this from its raw format into decisions or decision support tools will also be investigated using this technology.
