HySpex SWIR-640
HySpex SWIR-640 offers high spatial resolution by using a unique MCT sensor. The FPA is cooled to 150K using a sterling cooler, yielding low background noise, high dynamic range, and exceptional SNR levels. The camera offers an aberration-corrected optical system with high optical throughput (f/2.0), the data quality, sensitivity, and resolution is truly state of the art.
A wide range of close-up lenses allows the use of the camera at working distances ranging from a few centimeters, with a spatial resolution of 32 μm, to infinity for e.g. airborne remote sensing.
All HySpex cameras are compatible with LiDAR systems, which can be used to generate a DSM/DEM for accurate reflectance retrieval from the spectral data. HySpex can supply a suitable LiDAR solution as part of the system setup. LiDAR is optional, however, and is not required for operation of the HySpex cameras.

Laboratory setup
For lab and field use, a scanning stage is needed to scan the cameras and build the hyperspectral data cube of the scene. A user-friendly table-top lab setup with translation stage, VNIR-SWIR light sources, and close-up lenses can also be supplied for scanning of samples of varying sizes. The scanning speed is automatically controlled by the data acquisition unit, based on the selected lens option. The lab rack includes a camera adjustment platform, to facilitate camera focus adjustment when using different close-up lenses.
Accessories
Field setup
For field operations, HySpex supplies a range of high precision rotation stages tailored to fit the specific operational scenario.
Long-life Li-ion battery powered solutions are available for increased portability.
To ensure stable and reliable acquisitions in challenging field conditions, rugged and portable tripods are supplied. HySpex supplies a variety of tripods with pan/tilt heads that will accommodate the camera payload and rotation stage used.
Industrial setup
Certain industrial setups might expose hyperspectral cameras to a lot of dust or water, directly or indirectly. For these setups, an appropriate housing kit is necessary to avoid damage to the cameras.
Our Modular Industrial Housing Toolkit contains modules designed to protect HySpex hyperspectral systems in these demanding industrial environments. The modules can be deployed in different configurations to best suit each individual application. The modules are especially suitable for installation over conveyor belts, mining trucks, and in material processing facilities.
Airborne Applications
High resolution and high speed, combined with low weight and power consumption, make NEO’s HySpex cameras very well suited for airborne data acquisition.
Position- and attitude logging systems (IMU/GPS) from leading manufacturers can be integrated and supplied with the cameras. Alternatively, the HySpex systems can be interfaced with the customer’s existing navigational hardware.
For airborne systems, NEO supplies dedicated software and a touch screen for ease of operation.
