Hyperspectral imaging is used in areas of industry where conventional image processing systems have reached their limits. The Austrian software company, Perception Park has specialised in hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology and now offers complete solutions that are also to be used in the packaging and recycling industries.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When plastics are recycled and returned to the production cycle, they must have a high degree of purity, especially for use in the food sector. However, plastic waste often poses challenges for detection systems in the sorting plant. This is where hyperspectral chemical colour imaging technology can help to accurately identify materials<\/strong>. Hyperspectral cameras are used to convert the chemical properties of a product or material into a spectral signature that functions like a chemical fingerprint. Using special software (Perception Studio), each chemical component is marked with its own colour and made visible.<\/p>

\u201eOnly hyperspectral technology can reliably detect which materials are being processed before they are recycled.\u201c<\/p>

The Graz-based company is considered a pioneer in the field of HSI technology. \u201eWe were the first company to rethink HSI and simplify it<\/strong> so that it can also be used by users without specialised knowledge. Today, it is used for leak testing of cheese packaging as well as for end-of-line inspection of packaged ready-to-eat pizza.\u201c Burgstaller explains.<\/p>

In the recycling sector, HSI helps to differentiate the material flow, inspect bales and detect plastics in waste.<\/strong> The technology is also used in the wood, pharmaceutical and food industries as well as in numerous other industrial sectors.<\/p>

\u201eUp to now, software development has been our main business. Now, we are going a step further and also offering complete solutions that can be integrated into existing plants.\u201c<\/p>

To this end, the company has developed Perception Head<\/strong>, a measuring head that can be used for material flow analysis, and Perception Analyser<\/strong>, a stand-alone solution for batch control.<\/p>
