Description

Supply, Delivery and Commissioning of a Hyperspectral Imaging System

Total Quantity or Scope

The University of Strathclyde wishes to acquire new hyperspectral imaging equipment to support current and future research activity. The requirement is for a fully integrated hyperspectral imaging system capable of capturing hyperspectral data cubes from the Ultraviolet (UV) through to the Short Wave Infra-Red (SWIR). Any offered system should provide all necessary hardware and software required to gather full hyperspectral data cubes covering the UV - SWIR spectral range. The offered system should be delivered as a single, integrated piece of equipment which will allow all spectral data for a given sample/target to be imaged in the shortest time possible and with minimal requirements to move samples of interest between imaging systems or change or modify the set-up. There is a desire that the offered system provide as wide a spectral coverage as possible while still offering high spatial and spectral resolution. The requested equipment will be used to support research activity in a range of applications including inspection, online monitoring and process control. In particular, research is expected to explore new ways in which this technology can be added to production lines to inspect products for: defects; product consistency and early detection of contaminants or other artefacts. While HSI technology is advanced and provides information rich datasets, interpreting these is not always trivial and thus complementary research in the area of developing innovative techniques to process HSI data and convert this from its raw format into decisions or decision support tools will also be investigated using this technology.
