Hyperspectral cameras capture reflectance across many narrow wavelength bands (beyond RGB), giving a per-pixel spectral signature that reveals composition, moisture or defects invisible to the eye.
signature = R(lambda_1..lambda_n)
quality_score = f(signature)
accept if quality_score >= threshold
- Belt speed — conveyor throughput speed carrying packages under the scanner.
- Reject threshold — minimum quality score a package's spectral signature must clear to be accepted downstream.
- Package spawn rate — how often new packages with random spectral signatures enter the line.
Hyperspectral monitoring networks let logistics operators flag contaminated, mislabeled or degraded goods automatically at line speed, improving supply-chain integrity without slowing throughput.
