10 ways non-visible imaging technology is being deployed today

Non-visible imaging, including infrared,multispectral, and hyperspectral imaging techniques, involve the capture of images across various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, including near-infrared, shortwave infrared (SWIR), medium wave infrared (MWIR), and long wave infrared (LWIR.)

In this slideshow on non-visible imaging— which is one of the four topics covered in our Next Generation Vision Systems special focus—we look at 10 recent applications of non-visible imaging, ranging from the use of ultraviolet illumination in inspection applications to an infrared camera equipped-drone that was used to collect samples of gas from inside Italy’s Mount Etna volcano.
