Hyperspectral camera

Posted by Thomas Nilsen on April 27, 2011 at 7:48am

Anyone found a hyperspectral, or atleast extended spectrum camera that can visualize in complete darkness?

Basically a night vision camera without the need of adding ir light itself. For sensitive enough cameras even dark nights should be possible to see in some parts of the spectrum.

 

best regards

    I found something cool looking for night cameras.

     

    http://www.maxmax.com/canon_powershot_sd780is.htm

     

    These guys convert standard cameras to nightmode etc. With very good results by the looks of it.

     

    This together with Canon developer/hacker kit CHDK this can be a extremly powerfull solution for my UAV.

     

    The camera can output AV to my TX and on the same time take pictures, films and do image processing.

     

    Looks great! :)

    My advice is to look at IR security cameras for your front door.
    I have a camera which is 35mm x 35mm and runs on a ridiculous power system (that I will remove) but the images are so IR sensitive that I have placed a visible light filter on it. It's not HD it's not wireless its not a lot of things but it is cheap (£9.99) and very sensitive to the IR end of the spectrum.
