Hyperspectral Food Imaging System

Iowa State University is seeking a hyperspectral imaging system for its dairy science research program. The system will be used to acquire high-resolution near-infrared (NIR) spectral images of cheese and other dairy products for non-destructive characterization of composition and quality attributes. The system should support the development of predictive models, process monitoring, and graduate student training in advanced imaging, chemometrics, and artificial intelligence. The ideal system should be delivered, installed, and fully operational no later than August 30, 2026. • The system should be able to acquire high-resolution near-infrared (NIR) spectral images of cheese and other dairy products. • The system should support the development of predictive models, process monitoring, and graduate student training in advanced imaging, chemometrics, and artificial intelligence. • The system should be delivered, installed, and fully operational no later than August 30, 2026.
