organisation profile

The company concentrates on niche market areas where colour is a primary indicator of content or quality. Its unique spectro-photometric systems and algorithm development capability provide quantitative solutions where subjective or three band colourimetric systems are inadequate. Its market application areas have ranged from remote, in-situ and laboratory monitoring of chlorophyll content in water, to measurement challenges in colour control in the ceramics, paper and beverage industries.

Spectral Signatures airborne remote sensing system is designed to operate from a light aircraft under variable light conditions over land and water surfaces. The system is currently used for lake water quality assessment and land cover change detection and mapping. A campus company founded in 1993 at University College Dublin, Ireland, Spectral Signatures exploits the strong research capabilities of the Applied Physics Group at UCD, offering products and services related to the monitoring of the environment, particularly water quality. Its experience in ocean colour and remote sensing research has led to the development of innovativeproducts tailored to the needs of the environmental monitoring community.
