Hyperspectral Imaging
Imaging for physico-chemical properties in building materials.
Hyperspectral imaging is commonly used to detect chemical fingerprints of corrosion products and other biological and chemical contaminants in structural materials, including porous materials, plastics, paints, and coatings.
Scan for Water Leaks
These underrated problems can easily cascade into serious issues such as structural corrosion, interior damage, and mold. Hyperspectral imaging can help trace issues, including mold growth, without poking holes into the structure.
Examine Surface Treatment Integrity
Damaged surface treatments can result in corrosion propagating from one area. In defense applications, this also has radar implications. Our cameras can quickly spot subtle degradation in coated areas so that repairs are minimized.
Key Features
• High Resolution Low-Light Capability: Resolve nuanced material defects even at night.
• Image Mapping: Location data can be used to map out inspection routes for convenient review, eliminates mistakes and second-guessing.
• See More: Images can map mold and moisture infiltration in porous materials and map degraded paint and coatings.
• Remote Operation: Operable from a distance using hardline communication to reach difficult spaces.
• Modular Design: Easily swapped with other aRC instruments like impact testing, ultrasound, and infrared.
Technical Specifications
• Waveband Coverage: Hyperspectral imagers (HSI) see in hundreds of colors across the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet wavebands. This allows us to characterize surface chemical composition using spectroscopy.
• Material Detection: HSI can detect materials with subpar physical properties and degradation in aged materials.
• Versatility: The versatility of these imaging tools allows us to work on buildings, ships, roads, bridges, pipelines, etc.
Applicable for specialty inspections in numerous industries.
With our full stack fabrication services, we additionally incorporate custom imaging tools into form factors optimized for a given target. Custom solutions can be surprisingly affordable both up front and in the long run - let us share a proposal.
Applications
• Mold Detection: Detect areas with mold growth in waterlogged structures from a distance.
• Coating Analysis: Map out damaged coatings on large areas of pipelines, structural steel, and other structures.
• On-Site Chemical Mapping: Map out areas on large work sites contaminated with hazardous chemicals. Designate hazardous zones and safe corridors for personnel in chemical clean-up or CBRN operations.
• Threat Detection: Use wavelengths other than infrared to counter camouflaged threats (defense application).
