Welcome to the Hyperspectral Imaging Group at the University of Waikato. We are a team of engineers and computer scientists wokring on computational imaging methods for hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology through open-source platforms. We prioritise software-hardware integrated methods with machine learning and AI-informed image acquisition protocols. Our website serves as a hub for our software, hardware and hyperspectral database.

HAPPy Software

We have developed an in-house HAPPy software, which is abbreviation for Hyperspectral Applications Platform in Python. This is a platform that streamlines the workflow for hyperspectral data acquisition, annotation, analysis, and the exploration of machine learning algorithms. HAPPy is intended to allow non-experts to interface easily with our specialised toolboxes, models and algorithms to facilitate quicker experimentation and innovation in HSI.

Our Hardware

We have 2 hyperspectral cameras alongside a custom multi-instrument laboratory system for these cameras, and portable in-field imaging. Our hardware includes the Specim IQ camera (400-1000nm), the Specim FX-17 camera (900-1700nm), a rotary stage, and multiple halogen lighitng systems to capture high-quality hyperspectral data.
