Hyperspectral Imaging Concept. Hyperspectral imaging is a powerful new technology based on spectroscopy. It is based on collecting hundreds of images at different wavelengths from the same spatial area. The collected data form a hyperspectral cube, in which two dimensions represent the spatial coordinates (x,y), while the third coordinate shows wavelength (L). Hyperspectral imaging yields the spectrum for each pixel in the image, making it possible to find objects, identify materials, or detect hidden text or images otherwise invisible to a naked eye using a variety of mathematical algorithms. Additional information about the basics of hyperspectral imaging can be found on wikipedia page or by watching this youtube video.
