Multispectral and hyperspectral imaging represent cutting-edge technologies that extend far beyond conventional machine vision applications. These advanced imaging techniques promise significant advancements across various industrial sectors, yet they face substantial adoption barriers due to technical limitations and high costs.

The Challenge of Industrial Implementation

Many existing hyperspectral camera systems struggle with integration into demanding industrial environments because they fail to meet several critical requirements simultaneously:

  • High-speed data acquisition
  • Superior optical resolution
  • Real-time processing capabilities
  • Ease of system integration

Despite years of technological advancement, these challenges persist. Many applications either cannot utilize hyperspectral technology or require compromises that limit its effectiveness.

The Cost Factor

Beyond technical constraints, cost remains a significant barrier to widespread adoption. This financial consideration heavily influences customer decision-making processes for implementing new imaging technologies in production environments.

Traditional RGB Limitations

Standard R-G-B cameras (with or without Bayer patterns) present particular limitations:

  • They rely on filter-on-chip sensors
  • Their spectral response cannot be easily modified to suit application-specific requirements
  • Customization becomes increasingly difficult and expensive with smaller production quantities

These constraints make traditional approaches inadequate for applications requiring specialized spectral sensitivity.

Prism Technology: A Revolutionary Solution

Prism-based optical splitting technology offers a compelling alternative:

  • It enables customization of the spectral response without modifying fundamental sensor components
  • Allows extending capabilities beyond conventional RGB limitations
  • Maintains compatibility with standard off-the-shelf sensors
  • Provides greater flexibility for smaller production runs

This innovative approach addresses critical industry needs by combining performance with practical implementation considerations.
