Hyperspectral Imaging

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Process Analytical Technology for the Food Industry

Part of the book series: Food Engineering Series ((FSES))

  • 2176 Accesses

Abstract

The advantages of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) which is an emerging platform technology that integrates conventional imaging and spectroscopy to attain both spatial and spectral information from an object will be discussed. Although HSI was originally developed for remote sensing, it has recently emerged as a powerful process analytical tool for non-destructive food analysis. This chapter will provide an introduction to HSI: HSI equipment, image acquisition and processing; current limitations and likely future applications are discussed. In addition, recent advances in the application of HSI to food safety and quality assessment will be reviewed, such as contaminant detection, defect identification, constituent analysis and quality evaluation.
