Hyperspectral imaging.

It reminds me of a Star Trek tricorder. Imagine having a camera where you can see easily ID greenhouse gases, quantify water/fat content in food, identify plant diseases, verify drug components, identify tumours, and measure blood oxygenation. On the machine vision side of things: it could probably outperform any conventional imaging + DNN combination, and you'd probably get pixel-wise segmentation for free while you're there.

There's been a lot of academic progress going on - it shouldn't be long until hyperspectral imaging makes its way into our lives.

It is very much a part of your life if you are a member of the military or any number of government agencies. Has been a long time.

Yeah for sure, the current ones are disgustingly expensive and atrociously hard to use though!

Out of curiosity, do you work in this space? Would be interested in finding out more about the state of the field.

Yeah! Ping me anytime, email in profile.
