Hyperspectral imaging is an emerging technology that allows for the capture and analysis of images at many different wavelengths of light. Unlike traditional color imaging, which captures only three primary colors, hyperspectral imaging captures hundreds or even thousands of narrow, contiguous bands of light. This allows for a much more detailed analysis of an object's spectral characteristics, which can be used to identify materials, detect defects or anomalies, and more. Hyperspectral imaging is being used in a wide range of fields, including agriculture, environmental monitoring, medicine, and defense. As the technology continues to advance, it is expected to become even more widespread and powerful, with new applications and capabilities emerging over time.
The global Hyperspectral Imaging Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 287.9 Mn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 15.2% over the forecast period (2022-2030)
