Simultaneous detection, identification, and imaging of explosives have been accomplished through the use of a Visible/Near Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging system (VNIR HSI). Spectrometric techniques are widely used for the detection and identification of explosives but the use of the VNIR HSI system adds a third dimensionality to the data set and allows for image capture of milligram quantities of explosives. The data will be discussed in the context of visualization of explosives on various substrates.
