Perception Park GmbH

Perception Park is a company with a passion for Hyperspectral Imaging and the focus on generic and configurable hyperspectral data processing solutions for industrial inline applications. Our unique technology Chemical Colour Imaging (CCI) makes complex hyperspectral data on a molecular level usable for machine vision. Hyperspectral imaging systems combined with our generic, intuitive configurable data processing platform, Perception System, make the scientific methods of hyperspectral analysis accessible for everyone and open up new application areas. Chemical Colour Imaging is typically applied to industrial purposes by solution providers such as mechanical engineers. For them, CCI means greater independence from external technology suppliers and, thus, greater independence regarding bespoke applications. Since a Perception system allows easy configuration of applications without new programming effort for each adjustment, existing applications can be modified easily and quickly. This has particular advantages for the food processing industry, where the sorted products quickly change, (for example due to maturation) thanks to shorter development and modification cycles. In addition to the food industry Chemical Colour Imaging systems are especially suited for recycling, mining and the pharmaceutical industry. Chemical colour information as well as monochrome information can be processed by the user’s vision system. Thus, a hyperspectral camera may be integrated into a sorting machine which has already been using colour sorting. Moreover, CCI allows the user to combine molecular information and colour information of the scanned objects in order to fine-tune the sorting quality. Even in the medical field there are initial tests using CCI technology: We have already managed to capture a human hand and visualise the blood vessels inside using CCI and a hyperspectral system.
