HC Vision
Augmenting Conventional Imaging Devices with Hyperspectral Capabilities
Company Overview
Snapshot
Founded in May 2016 by Omer Shwartz, Boaz Arad, and Ohad Ben-Shahar, HC Vision operates with 1–10 employees. The company ceased operations in September 2018.
Business overview
HC Vision develops technology that enhances conventional cameras with hyperspectral capabilities, allowing them to capture a wider range of spectral information without specialized equipment or controlled lighting. The company utilizes machine-learning techniques to provide low-cost, consumer-grade sensors with hyperspectral features via software. This technology improves RGB image acquisition and enables advanced functions like material sensing. HC Vision's solutions can also augment existing CMOS/CCD sensors with hardware modifications to increase light sensitivity and hyperspectral accuracy. Its applications span the agriculture sector, including plant disease detection and crop analysis, serving B2C and B2B markets.
Strategic signal
In November 2017, co-founder Boaz Arad, an EMVA Young Professional Award winner, discussed HC Vision's technology, highlighting its potential to bring hyperspectral imaging to conventional cameras. This recognition underscored the company's innovative approach to computer vision and its relevance in advancing imaging capabilities for various industries.
