SWIR Cameras in Moisture Detection

Since water absorbs light with a wavelength of about 1450nm, when using a SWIR camera to capture images at this wavelength, the water part will appear black. This makes it possible to detect the amount of water contained in a substance, which can be effectively used for purposes such as fruit and vegetable sorting. The following is an apple with scars captured by SWIR camera.

Based on the same principle, shortwave infrared cameras can also be used for building inspection and material analysis.

Building Inspection

In the construction industry, SWIR cameras are employed to detect moisture intrusion in building materials. This is crucial for identifying leaks, mold growth, and other issues that can compromise structural integrity. The ability to visualize moisture content helps in effective maintenance and repair planning.

Material Analysis

In industrial applications, SWIR imaging is used for analyzing materials in real-time. It can detect moisture levels in raw materials such as wood and textiles, ensuring quality and performance standards are met before production processes begin.

Gatherstar offers SWIR cameras of different specifications, currently, the spectral range covers: 0.4-1.7μm，0.9-1.7μm，1.1-1.9μm，1.2-2.2μm，welcome to discuss with us!
