Hyperspectral Imaging

 Hyperspectral imaging merges spatial and spectral information to enhance our understanding of the world. The field of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) includes a variety of techniques that allow for imaging objects from the nanoscale to the remote sensing scale. Our multidisciplinary research is pioneering new applications of spectral imaging to study fundamental studies and various applications.

Hyper-personalization and hyper-//customization with consumer electronics for human’s daily life have been increasingly emphasized. To expedite this necessity, developing suitable sensors and evaluation methodology is the key issue. With the aid of machine-learning (ML) based statistical analysis, versatility in its functions and performance of the traditional sensors have been greatly achieved in the literatures. In particular, ambiguous quantities regarding human motions, touch feelings and etc. have been measured in the literatures. Still, appropriate solutions for human’s everyday interest regarding food inspection, healthcare, beauty care and etc still have long way to go for the level of daily life base consumer electronics.
