In Business: Marquette professor Majeed Hayat receives NSF grant to develop smarter imaging

Marquette University professor Majeed Hayat has received a National Science Foundation grant worth nearly $600,000 to develop novel improvements to hyperspectral imaging, the university announced today.

Havat, chair and professor of electrical and computer engineering in Marquette’s Opus College of Engineering, is the principal investigator on the NSF grant, and he will work to provide efficient sensing and processing for hyperspectral imaging.

Hyperspectral imaging is the process of capturing every wavelength for every pixel of an image, which produces massive file sizes and leads to processing delays associated with the management and transmission of the files.

Hayat and his colleagues aim to develop a hardware-software solution that captures not only the necessary wavelengths but eliminates the need to both transmit and store large image files.
