Hyperspectral Cameras

Hyperspectral cameras are imaging instruments that simultaneously capture spatial and spectral information across hundreds of narrow contiguous wavelength bands for every pixel within the camera’s field of view, producing a hyperspectral data cube that encodes both the visual appearance and the full spectral reflectance profile of the imaged scene. This combined spatial and spectral data set enables material identification, composition analysis, extending the analytical capability of imaging far beyond what standard RGB or multispectral cameras can deliver.

Sensor architectures across available hyperspectral camera platforms include pushbroom line-scan systems acquiring one spatial line per integration cycle, snapshot mosaic sensors capturing the complete spatial and spectral data cube in a single frame exposure, and Fabry-Pérot filter-based tunable cameras that step through individual wavelength bands sequentially.

Spectral ranges across the hyperspectral camera product landscape cover VNIR from 400nm to 1000nm using silicon CCD or CMOS detectors, SWIR from 900nm to 2500nm using InGaAs array detectors, and LWIR from 8µm to 12µm using MCT or microbolometer detector materials. Spectral resolution within each range falls between 2nm and 10nm depending on the spectrometer design and detector configuration, with narrower spectral resolution enabling finer discrimination between spectrally similar materials.

Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies hyperspectral cameras across VNIR, SWIR, and LWIR spectral ranges for agricultural, geological, environmental, forensic, and defense applications throughout Pakistan.
