Abstract:
A system is provided for the identification and separation of heterogeneous material, the system comprising: a hyperspectral identification system for capturing spectra of material; a computer receiving and analyzing data from the hyperspectral identification system and selecting desired materials from the heterogeneous materials; and an ejection system, whereby the desired materials are ejected from the system.

Claim (Index 14):
A method for sorting heterogeneous material, said method comprising:\n reflecting visible or infrared light from the surface of said heterogeneous material disposed on a conveyer; conveying said heterogeneous material at a predetermined rate through a hyperspectral imager; generating hyperspectral images of said heterogeneous material by receiving a plurality of selected spectral bands of infrared and visible light corresponding to spectral signatures of target materials to be identified if present in said heterogeneous material as said heterogeneous material passes on said conveyer beneath said hyperspectral imaginer; comparing said hyperspectral images of said heterogeneous material to hyperspectral images of known materials; identifying said target materials; after a preset time interval from said identifying said target material, said interval equal to the distance between said hyperspectral imager and a separating system divided by the predetermined rate, physically isolating target material from said heterogeneous material by separating said selected material from said heterogeneous material as it leaves said conveyer immediately after said hyperspectral imager.
