Cameras with hyperspectral sensors can observe far more than the human eye. Unlike the retina, which has only three color receptors (red, green and blue), these sensors can generate 130 different color values per pixel. Using this high-grade color resolution, an entire range of different materials can be differentiated impeccably -- even if, at first glance, they appear the same to the human eye. Researchers are now unveiling the SpectralFinder -- a software application that can record vast amounts of hyperspectral data on a mobile platform and analyze them in real time.
