Hyperspectral Imaging Centre

About us

The University of Strathclyde's Hyperspectral Imaging Centre, set up in 2009, is the first of its kind in the UK. It delivers signal processing algorithms and turnkey solutions to specific imaging problems for industry and the public sector.

Hyperspectral imaging can measure multiple variables including temperature, chemical composition, and levels of moisture, fat and sugar. This has led to a highly multidisciplinary IERC working with meat producers, food and drink companies, and health services.
