ChemImage to Hold a Session on Forensic Spectral Analysis at ASQDE Meeting

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 6, 2010 — What is a spectrum? How is spectral information extracted from an image? Why is multivariate statistical analysis important? These issues and more will be addressed at a ChemImage-sponsored breakfast session at The 68th Annual General Meeting of the American Society of Questioned Document Examiners (ASQDE), Aug. 28-Sept. 2 in the Fairmont Empress Hotel, Victoria, British Columbia.

Titled “Spectral Data Processing: Enhancement of Document Examinations with Hyperspectral Imaging,” this complimentary session will be presented to conference attendees by Dr. Jeffrey Beckstead, Director of Product Development at ChemImage, on Monday, Aug. 30, 2010, from 7:00- 8:15 a.m. in the Palm Court.

“We’re looking forward to educating the document examination community about the benefits of using hyperspectral imaging in an investigation,” said John Belechak, Chief Operating Officer and Forensic Business Unit Director at ChemImage. “Attendees of this workshop will gain a better understanding of how to interpret the data acquired with this technology.”

Hyperspectral imaging takes conventional photography and imaging methods to the next level by adding a spectroscopic basis for sample analysis. The result enables the identification and enhancement of contrast between chemically different materials.

In addition to the session, ChemImage will also be exhibiting at the conference throughout its duration.
