Applications of SWIR Cameras in Agricultural Sorting

SWIR camera captures images that are invisible to the human eye. Here are some advantages of it~

1. Fruit and Vegetable Sorting

Shortwave cameras are instrumental in the sorting of fruits and vegetables. They can detect differences in ripeness, moisture content, and internal defects that are not visible in the visible spectrum. For instance, a SWIR camera can differentiate between ripe and unripe fruits by analyzing the moisture levels within them. This ability ensures that only the best-quality produce reaches consumers, reducing waste and increasing marketability.

2. Quality Control

In the agricultural industry, quality control is paramount. Shortwave cameras provide high-resolution images that help in identifying defects such as bruises, rot, or discoloration. By incorporating these cameras into sorting lines, producers can automate the process of quality assessment, ensuring that only produce meeting specific quality standards is packaged and sold. This not only enhances product consistency but also builds consumer trust.

3. Non-Destructive Testing

One of the significant advantages of using shortwave cameras in agriculture is their non-destructive testing capability. Unlike traditional methods that may involve cutting or damaging the produce to assess quality, SWIR cameras can evaluate items without physical contact. This feature is particularly beneficial for delicate fruits and vegetables, preserving their quality while ensuring accurate sorting.
