Cubert Hyperspectral Cameras

UV/VIS/NIR High-Resolution Hyperspectral Camera

The Cubert ULTRIS X20 PLUS expands on the ULTRIS X20’s capabilities by adding a second panchromatic sensor. This additional sensor provides data to increase the spatial resolution to 1880 × 1880 pixels, allowing for greater detail in all images.

The second camera allows for a technique called pansharpening (or image fusion) to enhance images to the highest degree possible. So much so that even from an aerial capture, the analysis of leaf vegetation levels can help detect diseases and other issues requiring attention at early stages.

Even with the two integrated camera sensors, the X20 Plus remains extremely portable at less than 690g. Combined with a mini-computer and GPS, you can expect a payload under 1.5kg, making it a capable asset for various drones.

While the level of detail from the X20 Plus makes it particularly useful for mobile mapping and aerial use, it is a fully capable addition to any lab or field-use setting. You can benefit from the unrivaled resolution without forgoing the spectral resolution of 164 bands.

Key Features

• 20 MP hyperspectral snapshot imager (x, y, λ)
• 350 – 1000 nm (UV/VIS/NIR)
• 164 spectral bands
• Resolution of 1880 x 1880 pixels
• Dual sensor approach for pan-sharpened images

VNIR Small Form Factor Camera

The ULTRIS 5 is a small form factor hyperspectral camera offering affordability to compete against even the best RGB and multispectral cameras. The performance comes from the fundamental light field technology of the ULTRIS 20 and downsizing it into a smaller footprint. The result is a hyperspectral video camera boasting a 5 MP sensor, occupying 30 × 30 × 50 mm and weighing in at only 120 g.

The ULTRIS 5 features the same footprint as a standard industrial imaging camera in size and price but brings incredible spectral discrimination in comparison. It is small enough to fit into any industrial process system, powerful enough to fulfill medical imaging needs, and fast enough to record complete non-scanning data cubes at 15Hz.

Key Features

• 5MP hyperspectral snapshot imager (x, y, λ)
• 30 x 30 x 50 mm
• 120 g
• Spectral range 450 – 850 nm
• 50 spectral bands
• 250 x 250 px spatial resolution

VNIR Hyperspectral Microscopy

The FireflEYE V185 brings hyperspectral imaging into the world of microscopy, enabling endoscopy. The camera not only saves time by utilizing Cubert’s snapshot technology, but it aids in monitoring real-time processes such as samples in a petri dish.

The latest improvements to this model include upgrading the main sensor to a modern CMOS sensor and offering both 12 and 14-bit versions. The 14-bit provides a 2x high signal-to-noise ratio and 4x higher dynamic range compared to the previous FireflEYE S185.

Attaching a relay lens to the FireflEYE provides complete interchangeability to C-mount lenses. Additionally, the relay lens allows for a lens change without all the hassles of camera re-calibration. When paired with a close-up lens set, you can expect macroscopic scaled views of areas that are just a few mm.

While aimed primarily at lab use, this camera was the first-ever lightweight hyperspectral snapshot camera used for aerial mapping from a UAS. Because of the versatility of lenses, the user has all the choices in enabling different fields of view depending on the task.

Key Features

• 3D hyperspectral snapshot imager (x, y, λ)
• VNIR coverage (450-950 nm)
• 125 spectral bands
• 12-bit / 14-bit version
• 25 Hz max frame rate
• Compatible with microscopes
