Fraunhofer’s SpectralFinder Recognizes Color Spectrum of Surfaces in Real Time

Cameras with hyperspectral sensors can observe far more than the human eye. Unlike the retina, which has only three color receptors (red, green and blue), these sensors can generate 130 different color values per pixel. Using this high-grade color resolution, an entire range of different materials can be differentiated impeccably – even if, at first glance, they appear the same to the human eye.

Alliance Sensors's Linear Position Sensors Used in Metrom Rail's SafeStructure System

An ongoing challenge in the USA is that our transportation infrastructure is aging, as attested to by the increasing traffic and the resulting load limits being placed on bridges. In the present technological world, bridge monitoring does not have to rely on periodic human inspections, but could rely instead on electronically monitoring a bridge’s health, so it can be maintained and repaired well before any structural integrity problem could develop.
