Unispectral Overview
Unispectral specializes in developing megapixel hyperspectral imaging. The company’s platform enables users to capture high-resolution images that include spectral data for every object in the picture. The combination of computer vision and spectral analysis tools allows cameras to automatically identify objects and determine their chemical components from a distance. Unispectral’s solution includes both hyperspectral MEMS hardware and image-processing software that can turn any smartphone or handheld camera into a hyperspectral sensor. The platform is suitable for use in sectors including biometrics, cosmetics, food distribution, precision agriculture, mobile apps, appliances, well-being, and safety and security.

Unispectral, an Israeli spectral imaging company, has announced the availability of a new Evaluation Kit for its tunable near-infrared (NIR) filter and camera. The kit includes a tunable microelectromechanical system (MEMS) filter, a camera module, and a RaspberryPi computer for capturing parameters and interfacing with a PC or mobile device. Unispectral aims to make spectral cameras accessible for mass-market platforms. The ColorIR camera, which is part of the kit, captures multiple frames in different NIR wavelengths and can be used for various applications such as facial authentication, image enhancement, and remote health inspection. The evaluation kit is offered to customers for performance evaluation and application development. Unispectral was founded in 2016 with the mission of bringing spectral imaging to consumer devices.

Israeli camera sensor co Unispectral raises $7.5m
Israeli startup Unispectral has closed a $7.5 million Series A funding round led by JVP, RBVC, Samsung Catalyst Fund, and The Tel Aviv University Technology Innovation Momentum Fund. The company is developing hyper-spectral sensors for enhanced seeing and sensing capabilities in digital cameras. Unispectrals miniaturization of sensors allows them to be installed in smartphones and marketed to the public. The technology can be used to analyze a materials characteristics, check for freshness in fruit, detect counterfeit drugs, and identify bacteria in milk. The company plans to focus on various markets, including the car industry. Unispectral aims to transform color sensing mechanisms in compact cameras and provide better resolution and functionality. The hyper-spectral sensor has applications in wearables, digital health, IoT, industrial and agriculture sectors. The funding demonstrates the value of Unispectrals unique solution and its potential to revolutionize the mobile market.

Israeli Startup Unispectral May Have Invented a Tricorder
Unispectral, a startup supported by Tel Aviv University’s Ramot Organization, has developed a new camera lens with hyperspectral imaging capabilities. The lens offers improved image quality and can see through objects like the human body. The technology is backed by multiple patents and is compatible with compact camera modules. Unispectral aims to break the image quality bottleneck by replacing the Bayer color filter array. The company is funded by the Momentum Fund, with lead investors including Tata Group, Temasek, and SanDisk Corp.
