Not for all smartphone cameras can be disassembled. The logistic of modifying a custom request requires many tries and errors to get a first working NIR modified camera module. We would have to buy a corresponding device for testing or the customers can send us their devices for custom development works. Please contact us for specific inquiry.

1. Can your products output the data cube of hyperspectral images? What I mean is are we able to extract the output for reflectance of multiple bands? (Same as 3-band RGB images which we have the values of R, G, and B).
2. How did you make the smartphone cameras NIR-enable? Is it a software thing or you added pieces of hardware?
3. What are the technical details of the modified cameras? (spectral sensitivities, ....)
I was searching for the spectral properties of various smartphone cameras to see if we can use the camera sensors in smartphones as day time star cameras for our telescope. We just need a good NIR sensitivity (up to 1000nm) and a good filter to cut off the visible light.
I will eventually need to change the optics on top of the smartphone to significantly increase the zoom and end up with ~1 degree field of view.
It seems like you have experimented a lot with such problems and have learned from your investigations. What are your suggestions?
The Nexus 5X has best sensitivity at 1000nm among the smartphones we're offering.
Below are a few links to our YouTube videos and a website article that are relating to your application:
I would like to use the application to determine NDVI specifically from IR and NIR wavelengths in vineyards. We are aiming to correlate findings from the app with other data obtained from the Greenseeker and Crop Circle sensors as well as SPAD and Total N.
Do you think your application is up to the task and at what distance from the canopy should we be collecting the images from? How do you overcome the issue of saturation?
In general:
I’m really interested by your product and plan to use it to detect security fibers in security paper. Do you know a company that provide such kind of paper or fibers? I’m not talking about luminescent security fibers, but NIR security fibers acting as the NIR pigments shown in your demo video.
I understand you cannot disclose the name of the company. But we are active in the anticounterfeiting field and would like to use your product with our technology. Maybe, you could ask the company that makes the dyes if they are interested by new customer/partnership and give them my coordinates?
We're sorry that we cannot disclose the company that sent us the samples due to confidentiality. We don't know of vendors for those NIR marker dyes. If you google Near Infrared fluorescent ink dye you'll see many companies sell those chemicals in various forms.
