Resolve Optics High Contact SWIR Lenses for Agricultural Sorting
Resolve Optics is a developer and supplier of high-contrast short wavelength infrared (SWIR) lenses for agricultural sorting applications.
Traditionally, sorting methods for fruits, vegetables, and grains have relied upon the visible inspection of parameters such as shape, size, color, texture, and defects to determine quality. Compared to visible light, SWIR’s shorter wavelengths enable images to be acquired with stronger contrast and higher resolution, which are both important criteria for agricultural inspection and sorting. SWIR technology is proven to help food and agricultural producers reduce waste, increase yield, and improve quality by identifying bruised produce, which can be identified and removed during the sorting process. In addition, SWIR is able to detect foreign objects such as stones and other foreign contaminants during sorting.
