Cities in full color: How hyperspectral imaging is rewriting what we know about urban materials
When infrastructure ages, risk compounds quietly, beneath asphalt, within concrete, along transportation corridors. That’s where hyperspectral intelligence changes the equation.
This article based on studies by Jessica Salcido and Debra Laefer captures ITRES’ role in advancing hyperspectral imaging for infrastructure monitoring. It highlights how high-resolution spectral data can reveal early-stage material degradation, moisture ingress, thermal irregularities, and surface stress, long before visible failure occurs.
