From At-line to In-Line Quality Control and Foreign Body Detection with Hyperspectral Imaging

Kerschhaggl explores how Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) and Quantitative Chemical Imaging (QCI) are transforming industrial quality control and foreign body detection, enhancing safety and efficiency. Hyperspectral Imaging captures a wide spectrum of light in the NIR regime that allows for the precise classification of objects and parts thereof based on their chemical composition.

Unlike conventional quality control methods that rely on limited random samples, Quantitative Chemical Imaging, a technology based on hyperspectral imaging data, transfers laboratory precision measurements into production allowing for continuous in-line quality control.
