Bodkin Design Wins Hyperspectral Imager Contract

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
NEWTON, Mass., Jan. 25, 2013 — Bodkin Design & Engineering LLC, under a $150,000 US Air Force contract, will develop a high-spatial-resolution hyperspectral sensor prototype operating in the long-wave infrared spectral band. The nine-month Small Business Innovation Research program was awarded to Bodkin Design as part of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s ongoing efforts to improve target acquisition and threat assessment. Compared with conventional imaging, hyperspectral imaging provides more accurate detection of materials and objects, along with hundreds of colors per image, instead of just three. It...Read full article

    data cube
    A multidimensional array of values that is commonly used in programming to describe a time series of image data. Each dimension in the data cube represents a new attribute, while the cells of the cube represent the measure of interest. In hyperspectral imaging, the data cube contains intensity information in two axes and wavelength in the third.
    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...
