HyperMAT - Hyperspectral characterization and visualization of complex material systems

In the collaborative project Hyperspectral Characterization and Visualization of Complex Material Systems (HyperMAT), the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria and the Research Center for Non-Destructive Testing (RECENDT) are developing advanced procedures for the differentiation and characterization of materials. To this end, the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria explores fundamental methods of spectral imaging using energy-sensitive X-ray technologies in order to obtain information about the composition of a sample through its different interactions with X-rays. Consequently, the aim of the project is to create advanced procedures for separating material mixtures as a precursor to the recycling process and thus directly solve the challenges of today's industry with regard to its environmental footprint.
