The world may seem painted with endless color, but physiologically the human eye sees only three bands of light — red, green, and blue.

Now a Tel Aviv University-developed technology is using colors invisible to the naked eye to analyze the world we live in.

Hum

, OP, are you familiar with our work at Deuem ?? This sounds like what we have been doing now for a few years. We process every pixel that contains up to 1.3 million colors and give a picture in 4 varieties. I have to see what his output is vs ours. :think:

The name "hyperspectral" is cool, maybe we have to change our name!
