OpenScience at the III International Workshop on Hyperspectral Imaging

From October 29 to November 1, 2024, OpenScience actively took part in the III International Workshop on Hyperspectral Imaging, held at the School of Food Engineering of Unicamp (University of Campinas). The event featured renowned speakers, short courses and a dedicated space for networking and innovation, where researchers and professionals discussed advances in hyperspectral imaging.

OpenScience was present with its own booth and presented three novel projects that reflect our commitment to advancing technology in the field:

• Development of an Algorithm for Focus Optimization in Multispectral Microscope Images – This work addresses focus optimization in multispectral microscopy images and was developed by Raissa Vanessa de Oliveira Silva, Tiago Henrique Agostinho, João Senírio de Sousa Costa and Guilherme Post Sabin. It was presented by João Senírio and won third place in the event's best paper awards.

• Classification of Defects in Different Bean Varieties Using Spectral Images and PLS-DA – research focused on identifying and classifying defects in bean grains using spectral images and advanced data analysis techniques.

• Development of Interface for Advanced Analysis of Multispectral Images – designed to facilitate the processing of multispectral images by chemists and chemometricians.

In addition to presenting these papers, OpenScience gave two talks as a sponsor of the event, in which our multispectral microscope, already used to identify adulterants in roasted and ground coffee, was a highlight. The OpenScience team also used the booth to make valuable connections, showcase our instruments and explore new partnerships.

Taking part in this workshop was an enriching experience, fostering the exchange of knowledge and consolidating OpenScience as a leader in innovation in the field. We thank our team for being there and for the opportunity to collaborate at an event so relevant to both academia and industry.
