About

GAON Generic Applied Optics Novelties Ltd. improves the field of hyperspectral imaging through advanced research, development, and practical applications. The company's technology is built on indirect sensing, where an image is initially captured by a matrix detector and then transformed into a detailed hyperspectral representation using sophisticated mathematical manipulations and intelligent algorithms. GAON's system incorporates an active optical component combined with intelligent algorithms, enabling it to convert any matrix detector into a hyperspectral camera. This technology allows for the identification of materials in general and the authenticity of diamonds in particular by photographing an object with a camera connected to a mobile phone and receiving its chemical composition within a short time.
