CHN SPEC FS-IQ-A Portable Hyperspectral Camera (480 * 480, 400~1000nm)

CHN SPEC FS-IQ-A Portable Hyperspectral Camera (480 * 480, 400~1000nm)

The CHN SPEC FS-IQ-A Portable Hyperspectral Camera (Portable Smart VNIR Hyperspectral Camera) is a miniature optical analysis station that fits neatly in the palm of your hand. Operating in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 1000 nm (VNIR) with a resolution of 480 × 480 pixels, this version is positioned as an extremely flexible field device. Streamlining the resolution helps the machine process data at super speed and reduces storage load, thereby allowing users to perform continuous spectral tests at farms, wholesale markets, or warehouses with results returned instantly on the screen.

Outstanding Features

• “All-in-One Portable” design: Belonging to the IQ smart product line, the FS-IQ-A integrates a built-in microprocessor system, rechargeable battery, and intuitive touch screen. You don’t need to carry a bulky laptop or connect cumbersome cables; all scanning, analyzing, and result-viewing operations are performed independently right on the device.
• Standard VNIR spectral band (400 – 1000 nm): This waveband covers all visible light to evaluate appearance and color, and extends into the Near-Infrared band to analyze biochemical characteristics. It is extremely sensitive to the water content, chlorophyll, and cell structure of plants and organic foods.
• Resolution optimized for speed (480 × 480 pixels): Using a 480×480 sensor significantly minimizes the size of the 3D data block (Hypercube). A lighter data block means the microprocessor can run AI analysis algorithms much faster. This is the perfect choice for tasks that do not require micro-level illumination but prioritize batch sample scanning speed.
• Real-time AI Processing (Edge Computing): The camera is integrated with basic Machine Learning algorithms. Just point and scan, and the system can automatically identify, classify, or create color-mapping to display freshness/spoilage levels and biochemical content right on the screen in real-time.
• Accessible investment cost: Compared to 1920×1920 hyperspectral models, the FS-IQ-A offers an extremely competitive price, helping universities, small-scale research institutes, or agricultural cooperatives easily acquire advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technology.

Practical Applications

High mobility, fast processing speed, and reasonable cost make the CHN SPEC FS-IQ-A a powerful tool in:

Agriculture & Field Survey: Farmers and engineers can carry the machine around the farm to inspect leaf health, measure vegetation indices (such as NDVI), and early detect areas with water shortage or pests to take immediate intervention measures.

On-site Food Quality Assessment:

• Quickly inspect the freshness of meat and fish at wholesale markets or supermarkets.
• Evaluate the ripeness of fruits at agricultural purchasing points without having to peel or cut the fruit.

Education & Training (Field Teaching): An ideal practical device for students in agriculture, ecology, and optical technology during field trips thanks to its durability, compactness, and ease of use.

Basic Material Sorting: Applied in warehouses to quickly sort common scrap plastics, or inspect the uniformity of fabric batches and outdoor surface coatings.
