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
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

If you need to cover longer spectral range with one camera, we can propose 400-900 nm with the multispectral camera SIL-Toucan.
If 8 bands aren't enough for your polyspectral image, we can offer you up to 1000 bands with our hyperspectral cameras
And if you are interested in spectral imaging in the SWIR, we can propose the SIL-Ant-Cam (1100-1700 nm).
