Ultraviolet (UV) hyperspectral cameras are used to capture spectral images and display UV reflection features that cannot be detected by human vision. Many animals and insects have visual receptors that are sensitive to ULTRAVIOLET light, and the reflective features of flowers help them attract pollinators, as well as birds and insects looking for food. This shows that UV imaging spectrometer is a potential research tool in plant science, entomology and ornithology.
Hyperspectral imaging measures the high-resolution spectral data of each pixel in a two-dimensional image. In contrast to the human eye, which senses only three primary colors, a hyperspectral camera can provide hundreds of color channels. The visible range of human eyes is 400-700 nm; Wavelengths shorter than 400 nm are outside the range of human visibility, known as UV.
