1. Elevated Body Temperature Screening 10/21/2020

   In a pandemic, the world is looking for solutions that provide quick, preliminary screening for large groups at critical spots such as airports, train stations, company entrances, schools, government sites and others. The goal is to improve efficiency by focusing on more thorough and accurate testing techniques, on the most relevant people: the ones with the highest probability of infection. Xenics thermal cameras can help in this first pass screening.

2. Foreign Object Detection In Food Inspection And Sorting 5/16/2019

   Food inspection, in connection with automated sorting and classification methods, has become a major field of application for advanced image capture systems and infrared cameras. This case study tells how Xenics' line scan SWIR camera Lynx is used for complex imaging tasks.

3. Enhancing Vision With Short-Wave Infrared Line Scan Cameras 5/2/2019

   With better performance and lower cost, short-wave infrared line scan cameras are proving their worth in a variety of machine vision systems, from inspecting and sorting food to detecting cracks inside solar cells.

4. Short-Wave Infrared Temporal Multiplexing For Cost-Effective Multispectral Solutions 6/19/2018

   Temporal multiplexing is an alternative approach to hyperspectral imaging that uses a fast LED technology. Instead of broadband illuminating and diffracting the spectrum of light in the camera, a broadband sensitive chip is used, and the illumination spectrum is varied over time via fast triggering.
