The UK's showcase event dedicated to photonics and light technologies now incorporates Vision UK and highlights for 2014 include industrial vision, machine vision, scientific and hyperspectral imaging.
Adding fresh interest at the event this year is the co-location of the HSI 2014 Conference. Now in its fourth year, hyperspectral imaging is growing in use, well known for applications in remote sensing, as an aerial sensing technique to detect and classify objects on the ground. Now hyperspectral imaging is being used in research and industry to determine viewed objects’ temperatures, chemical composition, moisture, fat and sugar content. Miniaturization and increasing spectral range are driving the latest technology changes and growing use is bringing down the price of cameras.
