Patent Issued for Hyperspectral image sensor and operating method thereof (USPTO 11971299).

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has been issued a patent for a hyperspectral image sensor and its operating method. Hyperspectral imaging technology allows for the measurement of the optical spectra of each pixel in an image, making it useful for various applications such as agricultural analysis, food safety, and biological tissue analysis. The sensor includes an optical irradiator, an optical detector, and a processor to generate a hyperspectral image of an object based on the spectrum signals received. The patent also describes an operating method that involves adjusting the path of detection light and generating sub-hyperspectral images that are merged to create a full hyperspectral image.
