Hyperspectral imaging collects an processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike the human eye, which just sees visible light. Hyperspectral imaging is more like the eyes of the mantis shrimp which can see visible light, as well as from the ultraviolet to infrared. Hyperspectral capabilities enable the mantis shrimp to recognize different types of coral, prey, or predators, all which may appear as the same color to the human eye.
