But when prospecting for new finds, they're more likely to use tools such
as hyperspectral imagery, which can find electromagnetic fingerprints of objects and land features invisible to the naked eye, or light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technology, which maps subtle surface variations with extreme accuracy.
However, new methods to identify defects such
as hyperspectral imaging and electromagnetic noses are emerging, but are they viable solutions?

In addition to these conventional sorting methods, the Nimbus is able to sort based on biological characteristics, such
as chlorophyll (Fluo ™), mycotoxins (Detox ™), water (SWIR), and can be equipped with a
hyperspectral camera to identify the material's unique fingerprint.
Not just limited to human IVF practice, Dr Sutton - McDowall also sees commercial opportunities for the
hyperspectral technology across the farming, animal and livestock sectors
as well.
The combined all - weather canopy surface temperature provided by passive microwave sensor, such
as AMSR - E and
hyperspectral data are also important for monitoring plants water stress for early warning.
Advocates for including HES - like capabilities on GOES - R, which in this self - selected breakout group seemed to be most of the attendees, were very displeased by the indication during a plenary presentation by a NOAA official that an advanced
hyperspectral sounder was «off the table» for GOES - R / S, and would most likely be next considered
as a demonstration instrument on GOES - T.
The need for
hyperspectral observations from geostationary satellites was also addressed, including a discussion of their potential role in calibration of the space - based observing system (within those spectral ranges); monitoring of the diurnal cycle; and provision of spectrally resolved radiances (
hyperspectral visible / near - IR and IR)
as a climate reference.
They're familiar with a range of visual system hardware, such
as a structured - light 3D scanner, a
hyperspectral imager and LIDAR (Light Imaging, Detection and Ranging).
