CMS Series Compact Snapshot Multispectral Cameras

CMS Multispectral cameras are specially designed to allow high integration of VIS/NIR multispectral systems. These lightweight and very small footprint cameras split the image into 8 spectral bands plus 1 B&W channel. Made by hybridization of a custom Bayer-like mosaic filter on a commercial 1.3 (CMS) or 4.2 (CMS4) MPixel CMOS Sensor, they allow extracting the spectrum on each point of an image. SILIOS offers three different CMS cameras to address a wide spectrum of applications:

CMS-C (color dedicated)
CMS-V (vegetation dedicated)
CMS-S (security dedicated)

Application Notes

COLOR SHADES® LAB

The SDK for the SILIOS multispectral cameras (CMS, CMS4, TOUCAN and ANT). It allows :

Displaying the raw images, false color images, gray scale images or overlaid images with different indexation methods (such as “spectrum recognition”),
Normalizing the spectral channels,
Applying multispectral image corrections such as the crosstalk correction,
Extracting the hypercubes.

COLOR SHADES® LAB runs with real time acquisition, but can also run with recorded single image or series of images (“replay mode”).

COLOR SHADES® LAB supports any of the SILIOS cameras and recognizes each plugged one via its S/N number. The specific spectral data of the corresponding multispectral sensor are then used for spectral corrections and treatments.
