Recycleye’s vision system is capable of detecting and classifying items in waste streams, broken down by material, object and brand
Greg Blackman looks at how SWIR spectral imaging can help reduce plastic pollution, both through environmental surveys and by improving sorting in recycling plants
Andrew Williams on the uses and current state of hyperspectral imaging, along with the technique’s potential as an industrial inspection tool
Product design firm Cambridge Consultants has built a smart recycling unit that uses both machine vision and machine learning to help consumers identify what waste can be recycled in shops or commercial buildings
Recycling is becoming big business, and hyperspectral cameras are exactly the right tool to help sort the growing volumes of waste, as Matthew Dale discovers
Making recycling profitable is all about sorting waste to a high degree of purity. Hyperspectral imaging offers recycling centres a way to increase the purity of sorted materials and therefore their profits, as Greg Blackman finds out
Outfield analyses aerial images of orchards using machine learning to predict crop yield
Farmers are starting to reap the rewards of robotics and machine vision, as Keely Portway finds out
Open source software has advanced to a point where it’s now a credible option for industrial imaging, Matthew Dale finds
