- Benefit to industry: VTT’s customers have commercialised scalable spectral sensing for applications such as mobile drug detection by the police, optimisation of agricultural production and the remote measurement of patient respiration in a hospital environment. VTT has developed tiny hyperspectral cameras for a large number of challenging applications. These include the diagnosis of skin cancer, environmental sensing based on nanosatellites, various drone applications for precision agriculture and forest monitoring, and the remote measurement of vessel emissions. Combining both measurement methods creates information that is more precise, reliable and more useful for improving industrial processes than ever before.
- Future benefit to consumers: The development of autonomous systems is changing the way we interact with our everyday environment. In the future, our entire living environment will be subject to smart sensing. For example, a refrigerator will be able to automatically measure deviations in the freshness of food. Sensors will be built into household appliances and devices used by people. Smart household appliances will be able to advise people, for example by sending a message to a mobile phone. In the future, spectral data gathered by sensors will provide an extra sense for machine vision applications. It will enable several development pathways towards raising industrial production and make both agricultural robots and autonomous cars safer and more precise. This will require thousands of smart sensors that are networked together.
- Hyperspectral imaging combines an image with spectral sensing Nanosatellites are transforming traditional space exploration – they can be developed quickly and provide real-time information on outer space, the atmosphere and the Earth. Costs are significantly reduced when cameras can be launched on several nanosatellites rather than one big satellite. With hyperspectral imaging, even pharmacies will be able to monitor skin health and changes in moles. On the other hand, the authenticity of products and foodstuffs can be verified in shops in emerging markets.
- The combination of raw data from various sources will change the world. Data from satellites, drones and sensors on measured objects can be combined to produce much more accurate and reliable information than before. Drones and automation are transforming agriculture. Data conveyed by spectral sensors will help to conserve valuable resources when various stages of farming can be optimised.
- Smart sensing will permeate our everyday lives. No ready-made solution yet – customer company will package VTT’s expertise to form commercial applications. Applications will create new business and make solutions widely available that make life easier and improve production. VTT’s hyperspectral imaging is a market-changing technology. To achieve this potential, the commercialising company must master seamless cooperation between AI, high-speed networks and cloud services. VTT understands the entire smart-sensing ecosystem and works with the best in the industry to create commercialisable and scalable solutions for business needs. Mobile and smart applications connectable to various platforms will enable completely novel solutions for industry and services, which meet the needs of the fourth industrial revolution. To succeed, system automation, machine vision applications and the freeing up of human resources from mechanical tasks require cooperation between top talents in all sectors. The University of Jyväskylä has developed AI for the smart sensing ecosystem for VTT. Added value for customers VTT uses the success of its customers as the indicator of a technology’s value. VTT’s customers have shone at the world's largest event in the photonics sector, Photonics West – Three companies became finalists in and two won the Prism award, the most prestigious in the sector. (For example, Spectral Engines’ food scanner, 2018) VTT has customers around the globe, ranging from small start-ups to multinationals.
- VTT's technology is scalable for mass production. Hyperspectral cameras and spectral sensors have been reduced in size to a few millimetres and can therefore be integrated with handheld devices. Thanks to VTT, sensors previously only used in laboratories are now available anywhere. Smaller sensors enable measurement and analysis on the spot, e.g. in open country. Mass production enables the commercialising company to produce applications at consumer prices and bring them into the daily lives of thousands of people . VTT is working alongside companies to commercialise the technology and launch optical sensor products on the market. Skin cancer can already be detected using a hand-held device, co-created alongside Revenio.
- From hospital-based to patient-friendly health care with the help of VTT VTT is helping to make the health care more patient-friendly while preserving personal integrity, privacy and freedom of choice. Diagnostics will be taken out of the hospitals and made more accessible and available to larger groups of users, such as pharmacists. In place of a specialist, a smart sensor can screen thousands of people and its services can be duplicated in many places close to people's everyday lives, such as pharmacies or health centres. A respiration sensor can measure the quality of exhaled air, the quality of sleep and the wellbeing of people at risk. Medical staff can monitor results remotely, enabling greater privacy and freedom for the patient. Applications developed by VTT support decision-making by doctors and reduce the burden on health care services.
- VTT has developed the sensors and lenses needed for hyperspectral imaging, and made the hyperspectrum visible. As a result, we can detect lack of water and nutrients in soil, plant diseases, the ripeness of crops, and the spoiling of food – in other words, everything that affects the availability and price of food.
- Agriculture is being rapidly digitalised. National Land Survey of Finland, University of Jyväskylä and LUKE are using raw data to assess the fertilisation need and harvest time of hay, in real time based on data from drones. VTT technology is enabling the digitalisation of the entire agricultural sector. In the future, spectral sensing and hyperspectral imaging will function as the senses of agricultural robots at harvest time, enabling the control of the robots to obtain optimum yields. Spectral sensing and AI can be used for the remote control of robots and making agricultural production more efficient. In the future, it will be possible to identify the composition of food, food by food type, and possibly harmful substances. Impacts: Optimisation of existing arable land – in many places, crops are up to 50 % poorer than they could be*. Production could be improved by several tens of percentages. By optimising fertilisation, crop conditions and the timing of harvests, the highest possible yield and best nutrients can be obtained from the same surface area. Sensors can also be used to obtain the best possible properties in feed, for optimising the productivity of livestock. * Source: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/345/6194/325.full, University of Minnesota

- Based on a unique solution by VTT, hyperspectral imaging or spectral sensing can be used to assist in a number of security-related areas. Companies are using VTT’s technology to create new, groundbreaking solutions in order to achieve a safer future. The police can use spectral sensors for drug detection. TactiScan by Spectral Engines detects drugs and provides the police with the related data immediately on site. Drones can provide situational information to ensure public safety. Hyperspectral cameras have also been used to investigate crime scenes and investigate art forgeries. (University of Jyväskylä in cooperation with Specim, VTT)
- The small size of hyperspectral cameras enables their use in nanosatellites. Several nanosatellites can be used to image the same phenomenon. Several images provide more detailed data. Spectral cameras can be used for measurements from nanosatellites or drones, and to obtain time-series data on issues such as ozone depletion and atmospheric temperatures. Drones can be used to remotely measure ship emissions and for regulatory oversight to ensure that shipping companies comply with emission regulations.
