Multispectral Image Sensors

Multi-band imaging for advanced detection 

Multispectral Image Sensors - Sony Sensor Distribution

When standard RGB imaging is not sufficient, multispectral sensors provide enhanced spectral detail for advanced analysis. 

Instead of three broad color channels, these sensors capture multiple narrow spectral bands, up to 41 wavelengths in 10 nm intervals, enabling precise material and color differentiation with minimal spectral overlap. 

This allows for high-resolution spectral analysis, making them ideal for applications requiring accurate color measurement and material identification. 

As an authorized Sony distributor, RESTAR FRAMOS provides access to multispectral sensor technology and supports selection for your application. 

Key Features of Multispectral Imaging

Sony’s multispectral sensor captures up to 41 wavelength bands (10 nm intervals), enabling precise spectral analysis beyond standard RGB imaging. 

  • Improved material differentiation and classification  
  • Reduced spectral overlap and crosstalk  
  • Supports quantitative and repeatable measurements  

The sensor integrates multiple spectral filters at the pixel level, allowing simultaneous acquisition of spectral data in a single capture. 

  • Enables accurate spectral reconstruction  
  • Removes the need for external filter wheels or mechanical scanning, as the sensor captures multiple spectral bands simultaneously in a single shot, with additional wavelength data reconstructed through signal processing 
  • Ensures spatial and spectral alignment  

Sony provides FPGA IP and software tools to convert raw data into usable spectral information. 

  • Simplifies system integration and processing  
  • Accelerates development time  
  • Enables efficient analysis and visualization 

Applications using multispectral image sensors

Multispectral imaging enables precise material identification and analysis by capturing detailed spectral information beyond RGB.
