Spectral imaging has proved to be a key-enabling technology in the lab, which is leading to development of new products in the medical, agriculture, industrial, and space sectors. Consequently the technology is now logically entering in the phase of integration in uncontrolled environment and operational constrains of volume manufacturing e.g. each instrument within a series must have a predictable behaviour. In view of these challenges, imec has spent the past two years improving the hyperspectral imaging technology to cope with these higher constraints, not only at filter process level but also at camera level. In this industry talk, the audience will learn how filters deposition monitoring and system level tests to reduces the variability of data output between cameras, and finally how radiometric corrections at software level enable to robustly get reproductible results between different instruments, even when lighting conditions change e.g. outdoor.
