VTT’s hyperspectral imaging technology enables new artificial intelligence applications as a part of consumer devices

New technology measures wavelengths not visible to the human eyeVTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a highly cost-efficient hyperspectral imaging technology, which enables the introduction of new artificial intelligence applications into consumer devices. Spectral filtering technology takes advantage of the very-near-infrared (VNIR) wavelengths, which even low-cost mobile phone cameras can detect. Artificial intelligence can be used to interpret this environmental spectral data within images, which is not visible to the naked eye. The developed hyperspectral camera
