Imec’s hyperspectral snapshot camera can detect protein accumulation in the retina of Alzheimer’s patients.

Belgian biologists (KU Leuven), ophthalmologists (UZ Leuven) and engineers (VITO and imec) published some exciting results about eye examinations with the help of hyperspectral technology. Within a few years, this new concept could lead to a rapid, user-friendly, and affordable test for diagnosing Alzheimer’s.&nbsp;

 
Scientists hope that this test can detect Alzheimer’s in a very early stage, before cognitive decline has started, and therapy can be successful.&nbsp;

Start-up Tridimeo makes unique 3D vision solutions for robotic guidance and quality checks, integrating imec hyperspectral sensors.&nbsp;

Tridimeo combines 3D and multispectral capabilities to equip manufacturing robots with a robust and reliable set of eyes. Thanks to this, the robots can do quality checks and pick &amp; place parts – even shiny ones – in challenging light conditions. And all this at a high speed. Renault is Tridimeo’s first customer.&nbsp;

The company uses imec multispectral sensors for their solution. Also, Imec assists in ramping up the production of the sensor now that the start-up company shifts to deployment on an industrial scale. &nbsp;

Tridimeo develops ‘the holy grail of robotics’ (with the help of imec hyperspectral sensors)

Imec and XIMEA target machine-vision applications

Tracking an object for video surveillance, human-computer interaction or robot navigation is very challenging for a computer. Adding hyperspectral information to the video can help.

<a href="https://www.ieee-whispers.com/">WHISPERS</a> is one of the leading scientific gatherings in the field of hyperspectral data processing. Imec puts its hyperspectral cameras to work to help the organizers boost research in the field of object tracking and evolve to more robust object-tracking applications.
