Hyperspectral Scanners

Different scanner systems integrate with the Hypervision software stack in different ways. Use this page to choose the workflow that matches the equipment: HyperScan is intended as a lab-scanner platform with direct HV Explorer and SDK integration, while third-party scanner systems typically acquire datacubes that are transferred to HV Explorer or the SDK for offline analysis.

HyperScan​

Qtec's own hyperspectral laboratory scanner and prototyping platform.

Under Development

Preliminary Specifications:

  • Supported Cameras: support for both HV 1000 (VIS-NIR) and HV 1700 (VIS-SWIR)

  • Scanning Platform: ~250 x 300 mm workspace

    • Scanning length: up to ~300 mm

  • Optics: Adjustable height with interchangeable lens options (bought separately)

    • Field of View (FOV): Estimated range from 26 mm to 250 mm

  • Scan Speed: Variable from ~3 mm/s up to ~100 mm/s

  • SDK-controlled sampling: The HyperScan interface links camera FPS and belt speed. Set one value, and the SDK calculates the other from the scan geometry and oversampling so spatial sampling stays consistent.

  • Form Factor: Compact, foldable design optimized for portability

    • Portability: Designed to fit standard Peli-case dimensions
    • Target Dimensions: ~400 x 400 x 750 mm
    • Target Weight: < 32 kg

  • Software Ecosystem: Planned full integration with HV Explorer and HV SDK

Expected release date: Q3/Q4 2026

HSI Equipment by Newtec​

Newtec Engineering — who is a close partner of Qtechnology — has developed their own hyperspectral scanner machines which use the Hypervision cameras internally.

Buteo Hyperspectral Equipment 1​

Developed by Newtec, the Buteo Hyperspectral Imaging System utilizes the Hypervision cameras and streamlines sample scanning and data collection. The system generates exportable datacubes, making it an essential tool for offline processing and investigative research. In a typical workflow, scans are recorded on the scanner system and then opened in HV Explorer or the HV SDK for calibration, inspection, annotation, modeling, and export.

  • Two versions for either the VIS-NIR (400-1000nm) or the VIS-SWIR (430-1700nm) ranges
  • FOV: 300mm wide
  • Sub millimeter resolution size 0.17 mm x 0.25 mm
  • Belt speed: ~100mm/s
  • Focused broadband halogen illumination
  • The HSI datacubes are exported as PAM files using the BSQ data ordering
