SpecimONE is revolutionising the hyperspectral sorting business
S
pecimONE manufactured by Specim, Spectral Imaging Ltd, and distributed in the UK by Quantum Design is a spectral imaging platform for the industrial sorting market. With SpecimONE, machine builders, vision systems integrators and other OEMs will improve their time-to-market by taking advantage of SpecimONE’s agile development practices and creating new sorting applications without coding or in- depth knowledge of hyperspectral imaging.
A powerful tool
SpecimONE is compatible with major industrial standards and allows seamless integration with machine vision systems, e.g., Halcon and Sherlock. When combining hyperspectral imaging technology’s fl exibility with a simplifi ed platform, end customers can create unlimited amounts of new sorting applications.
“Hyperspectral imaging is an extremely powerful tool for industrial sorting applications. We want to make spectral imaging easy, and SpecimONE is a big step towards that goal,” says Tapio Kallonen, CEO of Specim. “We have now combined our superior know-how in hardware with easy-to-use software, creating a truly unique spectral imaging platform,” he adds. “We are confi dent that SpecimONE will answer industrial sorting market needs so that

customers can make their solutions faster, cheaper and easier than ever before.”
SpecimONE’s esential parts SpecimONE includes industry-proven Specim FX series hyperspectral camera, SpecimCUBE processing hardware and SpecimINSIGHT off -line software tool. Specim FX series cameras are the fi rst hyperspectral instruments designed specifi cally for industrial use. The cameras’ high frame rate meets the industry speed requirements, and their robust structure and small size allow fl exible installation locations.
SpecimCUBE is a high-performance
processing platform to run classifi cation models created by SpecimINSIGHT in real time, including optimised software to meet industry requirements for throughput, latency and jitter.
SpecimINSIGHT allows users to browse and explore data, create and validate classifi cation models. The current feature set focuses on sorting industry requirements: • A robust yet fast classifi cation algorithm PLS-DA and support for MROI functionality to benefi t from FX series camera speed; • Support for all Specim dataset format cameras.
Users say that, “The look and feel of the
tool are very intuitive and surprisingly soothing,” and “The model building is very simple.”
Specim and QD-UKI Specim are distributed in the UK and Ireland by Quantum Design UK and Ireland (QD-UKI). Specim who are based in Finland manufacture hyperspectral imaging instruments which are suited for a whole host of applications including remote sensing, geology, food quality, plastic sorting, online inspection and colour measurement. Additionally, the instruments are extremely versatile, and in most cases the same camera can be confi gured for use in the lab, fi eld or sky.
