HySpex SWIR-384
The HySpex SWIR-384 hyperspectral camera is developed for field, laboratory, and airborne applications.
The state of the art MCT sensor with cooling down to 150K yields low background noise, high dynamic range, and exceptional SNR levels. With a max frame rate of 400 fps, combined with an aberration-corrected optical system with high optical throughput (f/2), the data quality, speed, and sensitivity is truly state of the art.
A wide range of close-up lenses allows the use of the camera at working distances ranging from a few centimeters with a spatial resolution of 53 ?m to infinity e.g. airborne remote sensing.

I recommend HySpex improve the entire setup and make it more user-friendly. For example, the moving stage is very bulky, and having a long tower makes it impossible to change the height of the camera. It would be great if the height-adjusting handle of the hyperspectral imaging camera was placed on the side of the tower instead of at the top, or if it was motorized. Having adjustable lenses would help too if it does not reduce the data quality.

A wide range of close-up lenses allows the use of the camera at working distances ranging from a few centimeters with a spatial resolution of 53 ?m to infinity e.g. airborne remote sensing. | HySpex Mjolnir S-620 The HySpex Mjolnir S-620 hyperspectral imaging system for UAVs is the SWIR version of the Mjolnir camera series. Similar to the VNIR version, it provides a unique combination of small form factor and low mass, combined with high-performance specifications and scientific grade data quality. With a weight of less than 4.5 kg and less than 50 W power consumption, HySpex Mjolnir S-620 is very well suited for a wide range of UAVs. NEO offers high-performance unmanned aerial vehicles, fully integrated with the HySpex Mjolnir S-620. The UAV is fitted with a standard battery package allowing up to 30 minutes of flight time. All HySpex Mjolnir systems can also be mounted on a tripod and rotation stage for ground use. | HySpex VS-1200 The HySpex VS-1200 hyperspectral camera is developed for airborne applications requiring extreme resolution in both VNIR and SWIR spectral regions. The HySpex VS-1200 is a novel high-resolution instrument designed for airborne applications at altitudes greater than 400m. The camera produces the highest scientific grade level data, commercially available, having FWHM less than 1.2 pixels spatially and less than 1.5 pixels spectrally. The combined VNIR-SWIR cube has coregistration errors, and smile and keystone of less than 10% of a pixel. With 40 degrees FOV, the camera is ideal for mapping large areas with high accuracy and resolution. The camera is delivered with an integrated high-performance IMU/GPS and data acquisition unit with removable storage bays as a standard. Existing navigation systems can also be integrated/utilized. A standard passive damping solution is included as a part of the default delivery package, but mounting plates for active damping solutions, such as GSM4000 or PAV80 can be supplied. | Specim FX10 Specim FX10 is a line-scan hyperspectral camera that operates in the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) region. It is an excellent tool for industrial and scientific applications. The Specim FX10 operates in the 400-1000 nm region, and the color-optimized Specim FX10c in the 400-780 nm region. | Specim FX10+ The Specim FX10+ is a high-speed line-scan hyperspectral camera optimized for applications requiring fast imaging. Its high resolution ensures accurate and detailed imaging at a rapid pace. Specim FX10+ operates in the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) region from 400 to 1000 nm. | HySpex SWIR-640 The HySpex SWIR-640 hyperspectral camera is developed for field, laboratory, and airborne applications. HySpex SWIR-640 offers high spatial resolution by using a unique MCT sensor. The FPA is cooled to 150K using a sterling cooler, yielding low background noise, high dynamic range, and exceptional SNR levels. The camera offers an aberration-corrected optical system with high optical throughput (f/2.0), the data quality, sensitivity, and resolution is truly state of the art. A wide range of close-up lenses allows the use of the camera at working distances ranging from a few centimeters, with a spatial resolution of 32 ?m, to infinity for e.g. airborne remote sensing. |

The HySpex SWIR 384 camera offers a broad spectral range of 950 nm to 2500 nm, allowing for high quality imaging of a wide variety of samples. The camera provides excellent image quality, and it comes with Ground Software that enables users to control the imaging process, adjust lights, and see images live. The software is free and user friendly, making it easy to use for a range of applications. However, it’s important to note that the Ground software does not perform white and dark calibration, nor data analysis. For these purposes, a separate software needs to be purchased.
We purchased this shortwave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral imaging camera in 2019. Since then, the camera has broken a few times, mainly failing to reduce the temperature of the camera to the operating temperature. HySpex attributed this to the part supplier (which I believe is right). While a permanent repair is yet to be found, HySpex’s customer service was exceptionally good and did their best to keep my lab going. They once sent a technician from Norway (to Australia) to service the camera and increase its lifespan until they find a permanent repair.
In terms of application ease, the camera holder benchtop lit is bulky, and adjusting the camera focus is done physically by moving the camera up and down rather than using an adjustable lens or a powered camera tower. Adjusting the camera height is an inconvenience, as we need to turn a handle ten of times to move it up and down a few centimetres. Adding to that, the handle is placed at the top of the camera tower. Placing the camera on the bench means that the tower is somewhere close to the ceiling, and we need to have a ladder to adjust the camera height.
There are a few options for lenses to choose from. I am using a 30 cm lens, which stands 30 cm above the samples and measures 10 cm width of the stage. I also have a “microscopic lens.” This lens does not actually magnify anything, but the pixel size is very fine (ca. 0.05 mm). The “microscopic lens” measures the 2 cm width of the stage. There is a 1 m lese that measures up to 30 cm width. The Hyspex SWIR 384 measures 384 pixel per line.
Furthermore, because the camera offers a broad spectral range with relatively high spectral resolution (ca. 5.45 nm), leading to measuring 288 wavelengths, the imaging speed is not very high (yet good for research). As far as I am aware, it’s not possible to turn off some wavelengths to increase the imaging speed. This is something you need to consider if imaging speed is important for your application. This is not a disadvantage for me since I use it for research (chemometrics, food quality monitoring, classification, non destructive analysis), and I prioritise better quality data over faster imaging speed.
Overall, I am very happy with the quality of the images and the customer service, and I think the HySpex SWIR 384 is an excellent option for my applications (research). It’s important to consider the drawbacks, such as the inconvenience of adjusting the camera height and its high price. However, the excellent image quality, broad spectral range, and HySpex’s exceptional customer service make it a worthwhile investment for many applications.
Nice post. I learn one thing more challenging on totally different blogs everyday. It is going to always be stimulating to read content material from different writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d choose to make use of some with the content on my blog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link in your net blog. Thanks for sharing.
