VIS-NIR Multispectral Camera

Multiespectral visible - NIR compact cameras with 8 spectral bands + 1 b/w

SIL-CMS and SIL-CMS4 VNIR multispectral cameras are specially designed to allow high integration of VIS/NIR multispectral systems.
These lightweight and very small footprint cameras split the image into 8 spectral bands plus 1 B&W channel: in a sincle capture the 9 images are obtained simultaneously.
Made by hybridization of a custom Bayer-like matrix on a commercial 1.3 MPx and 4.2 MPx CMOS sensors, they allow extracting the spectrum on each point of an image.

The technology Color Shades(R) is a unique manufacturing technique developed by SILIOS Technologies to produce multispectral pixelated filters. The SIL-CMS/4 multispectral cameras are type snapshot.

In our Polyespectral Imaging Application you can learn more on this technology, the features and advantages.

Key applications of the visible - NIR multispectral image systems
- color measurement
- recycling and waste sorting
- general sorting
- machine vision
- cosmetics
- agro-food
- space and earth observation
- biomedicine: endoscopy, microscopy,...
- autonomous vehicle: segmentation
- precision farming
- forestry

General specifications of the multispectral imaging sensors SIL-CMS/4

Spectral specifications and models of multispectral

Model	Spectral range	Bandwidth (FWHM avg)	Macropixel config.
SIL-CMS/CMS4-C	430-700 nm	40 nm	3x3 (8 color bands + 1 B&W)
SIL-CMS/CMS4-V	550-830 nm	40 nm	3x3 (8 color bands + 1 B&W)
SIL-CMS/CMS4-S	650-930 nm	40 nm	3x3 (8 color bands + 1 B&W)

If you need to cover longer spectral range with one camera, we can propose 400-900 nm with the multispectral camera SIL-Toucan.
