The cameras come with a high spectral fidelity and the necessary tools and after-sales support to match the needs of the rapidly evolving machine vision market, including guaranteed spectral data quality, ease of use, and calibration.

The cameras are expected to speed up the adoption of hyperspectral imaging in a wide range of applications including crop monitoring in agriculture, quality and freshness control in the food industry, augmented reality for surgery, robot guidance in industrial production plants, predictive outdoor maintenance, biometrics, forensics or earth observation.
In hyperspectral imaging, light is captured from a combination of spectral bands and delivers valuable data about the non-visible aspects of the objects and surfaces being examined, such as their (bio)chemical composition.
XIMEA’s cameras are capable of real-time video rate spectral data acquisition, allowing new applications as they enable portables, robotics and integration in other systems where traditional push-broom is too challenging.

New software enables applications in more challenging non-standardized industrial settings.
xiSpec2 camera customers have access to Imec’s manuals and sample data.
Because each customer has individual requirements, and there is no one-fits-all solution, Imec will provide tailored expert level technical support to help customers in making the right technical decisions and enable them to focus on their application.
The xiSpec2 series consists of 3 standard cameras and tailored solutions can be derived from customers’ needs.
The cameras can be ordered and delivered starting December 2020.
Customers can obtain a starter kit with the necessary peripherals (lenses, cables…) to ensure a smooth startup as well as after-sales support that includes a warranty on the spectral image quality.
