Applications
“Making the invisible visible”
This is our motto! We have got extensive experience in the development of complex electro-optical devices such as multi-spectral cameras. We can offer a wide range of OEM products ranging from the 1 channel Raptor-3000 to the 5 channel Condor-MS5. Between those two camera types a whole range of camera’s and application solutions are possible.
What is multi-spectral imaging?
Multi-spectral imaging is a technology originally developed for space-based imaging. Multi-spectral imaging can capture light from frequencies beyond the visible light range, such as infrared. This can allow extraction of additional information that the human eye fails to capture with its receptors for red, green and blue. Multi-spectral images with more numerous bands or finer spectral resolution or wider spectral coverage may be called "hyper-spectral" or "ultra-spectral".
This technology can be of use for many different applications and markets. The main applications can be found in the following market segments
UAV-based Environmental Monitoring using Multi-spectral Imaging
Monitoring the soil composition of agricultural land is important for maximizing crop-yields. Carinthian Tech Research, Schiebel GmbH and Quest Innovations B.V. have developed a multi-spectral imaging system that is able to simultaneously capture three visible and two near infrared channels. The system was mounted on a Schiebel CAMCOPTER S-100 UAV for data acquisition. Results show that the system is able to classify different land types and calculate vegetation indices.

DLP technology's pivotal role in O2view's versatile medical projection device
Quest Innovations designs and builds the cameras used in the O2view Artemis system. In this article Quest Innovation's DLP projector for the Artemis platform is highlighted. A projection system based on a DLP (Digital Light Processor) is used for the illumination of tissue for near infra-red fluorescence imaging of tumors and spatial oxygen-saturation measurement. The combined technology for molecular imaging (Artemis Camera) and image-guided projection of light (Artemis DMD-Projection System) is of significant benefit for various clinical applications.| Article | [DLP pivotal in O2View Artemis device] | 1051 Kb |
