Snapshot Hyperspectral Cameras (Including Drone Cameras)

There are many technical advantages of snapshot hyperspectral cameras, including:

  • Captures the full hyperspectral data cube in a single exposure.
  • No scanning needed (unlike pushbroom or tunable filter systems).
  • Enables imaging of moving objects or dynamic scenes without distortion.

Real-Time Data Acquisition & Processing

  • Provides video-rate hyperspectral imaging—up to dozens of cubes per second.
  • Supports on-the-fly spectral analysis, including vegetation indices, material classification, or anomaly detection.
  • Crucial for time-sensitive applications (e.g., live monitoring via UAVs or process control).

Push Broom Hyperspectral Cameras and Autonomous Platform

The L-EOS is an infrared push broom hyperspectral system optimized from 0.9 up to 2.8 µm. Using a totally reflective spectrometer at its core, it has fewer interfaces, thus less light losses, no chromatism and very low aberrations. It is combined with Photon etc.’s scientific-grade infrared cameras and objective lenses specifically designed for infrared spectroscopy.

The most important added value is the possibility to customize the instrument to specific applications. Our broad expertise covers various applications going from geology to material sorting, recycling and many others. Its 4 stages TE cooling at either -50°C or -80°C offers a longer lifetime than other cooling systems and less maintenance. Its robustness makes it industry-ready.
