Headwall’s Hyperspectral Sensors Enter Australian Market

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
FITCHBURG, Mass., Sept. 19, 2013 — Portable Analytical Solutions (PAS) of Australia will distribute Headwall Photonics' sensors there and in New Zealand, Headwall announced this week. The company said that the deal reflects the growing interest of the remote-sensing industry in both ground-based and airborne hyperspectral sensors.

PAS, which has 20 years of experience in instrumentation, has offices in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, its headquarters. The agreement with Headwall also includes New Zealand.

Hyperspectral imaging quickly and nondestructively images anything within the field of view to determine its chemical and spectral fingerprint.

Headwall CEO David Bannon said that the remote-sensing and the mining and exploration communities in the Asia-Pacific region will benefit from PAS's ability to offer "a complete remote-sensing hyperspectral package that complements the other ground-based technologies they represent. Remote sensing is most precise when airborne and ground-truth capabilities are synchronized, and PAS will have the unique ability to provide the very diverse Australian market with integrated solutions."

"We can offer our clients solutions for [unmanned aerial vehicles] and manned aircraft while at the same time showing how the technology is also perfectly suited for field use, in high-speed advanced machine vision applications, for environmental monitoring, precision agriculture and exploration sciences," said Paul Martin of PAS.

Glossary
hyperspectral imaging
Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced imaging technique that captures and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike traditional imaging systems that record only a few spectral bands (such as red, green, and blue in visible light), hyperspectral imaging collects data in numerous contiguous bands, covering a wide range of wavelengths. This extended spectral coverage enables detailed analysis and characterization of materials based on their spectral signatures. Key...
machine vision
Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
