Hyperspectral sensor designed for UAVs to be showcased at Photonics West 2016

Jan. 13, 2016
On display at the Headwall Photonics booth at Photonics West in San Francisco from February 16-18 will be its Nano-Hyperspec hyperspectral sensor, which operates in the VNIR (400-1000nm) spectral range and is designed for use in small, hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).  

On display at theHeadwall Photonics booth at Photonics West in San Francisco from February 16-18 will be its Nano-Hyperspec hyperspectral sensor, which operates in the VNIR (400-1000nm) spectral range and is designed for use in small, hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). It features a 640 x 480 CMOS image snsor with a 7.4 µm pixel size that achieves frame rates up to 480 fps. In addition, the Nano-Hyperspec also features onboard data processing and storage and has 640 spatial bands and 270 spectral bands at a resolution of 2-3 nm. Lastly, the sensor has a GigE interface, a 17 mm lens, a 15.9° field of view, and a storage capacity of 480GB. Nano-Hyperspec sensors are suitable for use in UAV applications, including environmental monitoring or agricultural tasks.

Headwall will also showcase a VNIR-SWIR sensor, as well as a new high-resolution fluorescence sensor designed for spotting plant physiology changes based on chlorophyll emissions.
