Abstract: Methods and systems for using multiple hyperspectral cameras sensitive to different wavelengths to predict characteristics of objects for further processing, including recycling, are described. The multiple hyperspectral images can be used to predict higher resolution spectra by using a trained machine learning model. The higher resolution spectra may be more easily analyzed to sort plastics into a recyclability category. The hyperspectral images may also be used to identify and analyze dark or black plastics, which are challenging for SWIR, MWIR, and other wavelengths. The machine learning model may also predict the base polymers and contaminants of plastic objects for recycling. The hyperspectral images may be used to predict recyclability and other characteristics using a trained machine learning model.
