Based on customer feedback cosine developed an enhanced generation hyperspectral imagers for space, HyperScout 2. The HyperScout 2 has augmented processing performance by using Intel Ireland’s new Myriad 2 artificial intelligence chip, improving the data processing capabilities for hyperspectral imagery. HyperScout 2 also features the thermal infrared channel developed through a cooperation with ESA Earth Observation Programme.

This HyperScout model provides hyperspectral imaging in the visible and near infrared to analyze composition of the Earth, along with three thermal infrared bands to retrieve the temperature distribution, boosting and improving the number of Earth Observation applications cosine’s customers can benefit from. cosine offers HyperScout as product to commercial and research parties. Allowing them to develop and update software for their own applications from space. Applications such as;
