IUMA develops a hyperspectral system for the early detection of corrosion in metal structures
03 of February 2026
The Integrated Systems Design Division (DSI) of the University Institute of Applied Microelectronics (IUMA) at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is working on the development of an innovative system based on hyperspectral technology for the early detection of corrosion in metal structures. This technology makes it possible to identify corrosion in its very early stages, when the deterioration is not yet visible to the human eye. Thanks to spectral information, the system is capable of detecting corrosion processes on a microscopic scale and differentiating between different degrees of corrosion when the damage is more advanced.
