Why Hyperspectral Imaging?

Accurate material identification is essential for modern textile processing. Conventional machine vision technologies often struggle with blended and visually similar materials.

Hyperspectral imaging provides detailed spectral information beyond the visible range, enabling precise material recognition that is not achievable with RGB or multispectral systems.
