Bilgem’s Hyperspectral Data Imaging Spectograph FORENSIC XP-4010D in India Now

The North India (Dharamsala) has its first hyperspectral digital imaging spectograph thanks to the FORENSIC XP-4010D developed by TÜBİTAK Bilgem. Within this scope, on 29th October of 2013, India Himachal Pradesh’s Chief Minister Shri Virbhadra Singh paid a visit to the Regional Forensic Scince Laboratory (RFSL) to inaugurate the Hyperspectral Data Imaging Spectograph in Dharamshala, India. 

TÜBİTAK Bilgem has exported the spectograph to some other countries including China,  Holland, Germany, Hungary, Korea, Ireland, Slovakia, Ethiopia,  Saudi Arabia, Taiwan and theUSA. Moreover, the product has been regarded as unprecedented by many of these countries. In this context, Dr. Surender Kumar Pal, Assistant Director and Media Officer of RFSL, said that Hyperspectral Data Imaging Spectograph has been bought recently and will be used for large scale document examination.  He further added that the laboratory will get training from TUBİTAK Bilgem experts for its operation. 

Hyperspectral Forensic Imaging Spectograph uses the highest modern optoelectronical  technology and fast digital processing for authenticity determination for revealing some hidden features of the questioned documents. Device performs ink analysis/ink difference, information on handwritings, currency notes, travel documents, bank cheques etc. Specifically, the device focuses on determination  of the sequence of intersecting lines using hyperspectral imaging information. Moreover, with novel 2D/3D processing software, the device represents a new generation of nondestructive tools for authenticity determination of different types of documents and handwritings using hyperspectral digital imaging technology.
