Multispectral / Hyperspectral / Thermal Cameras

A multispectral camera captures images in different bands of the light spectrum, including frequencies beyond the visible range, such as infrared and ultraviolet. This allows the camera to capture information in colors that humans cannot normally perceive.

A hyperspectral camera, also known as a hyperspectral imaging sensor, captures a scene's light, separating it into its individual wavelengths or spectral bands. The camera records the spectral information of each pixel in the image, along with its light intensity (radiance) for a large number of spectral bands. This allows the camera to create a two-dimensional image of the scene that contains a continuous spectrum for each pixel.

A thermal camera, also known as an infrared camera or thermographic camera, is a non-contact device that captures and displays an image of an object using infrared (IR) radiation emitted by the object. This process is called thermal imaging. The image produced by a thermal camera represents the object's temperature.
