GROUND KIT FOR HYPERSPECTRAL ACQUISITION

Ground Acquisition Kit with Hyperspectral Camera Sensor
(Nano Hyperspec ® ) by Headwall Photonics Inc.

Specifications

  • Simplify the data acquisition process with precise horizontal or vertical scans;
  • Visualization of the data collected in Real-Time directly on a Tablet for the calibration and setup of the camera;
  • Change the camera parameters directly from the console;
  • Acquisition of hyperspectral data without the clutter of cables and computers, but remotely with the wireless connection of the tablet
KIT DA TERRA PER ACQUISIZIONE IPERSPETTRALE

The product allows you to use the camera on a tripod or a car according to your needs. In addition, it will enable you to use the hyperspectral sensor directly from the Flight Controller, thus being able to count on the most simplified and reliable data acquisition.

The operations that previously required a laptop physically connected to the camera before take-off are now entirely managed by the app. All the camera commands that have been coded and implemented directly in the BLY3D application developed Aermatica3D.

The Kit from the ground for hyperspectral acquisition allows an extreme simplification of the operation also in terms of security on the acquisition of data; from the app, it is possible to know if the camera is working during the flight, in what state it is, if the GPS is acquired and can stop the acquisition of data at the last waypoint of the flight without having to approach the camera to connect and give the stop physically.

DRONE-MULTISENSOR INTEGRATION

Air quality multi-sensor integration for chemical-physical parameters detection

  • It simplifies the data acquisition process thanks to a perfect integration between Multisensor and Drone.
  • Certain acquisition of the collected data
  • Multilayer functionality to carry out three-dimensional flight plans thanks to the BLY3D app;
  • Visualization of data collected in Real-Time directly on the Flight Controller

The solution consists of a single remote-sensing system consisting of a drone of the DJI Enterprise Matrice 300 RTK series, associated with a multispectral sensor capable of recording data relating to humidity, pressure, temperature, and gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and hydrogen sulfide also recording the temperatures of the individual gases detected.

The Multilayer functionality of the BLY3D app allows you to plan three-dimensional flight missions to study the concentration of the parameters as a function of the height of the data and display them in real-time individually or on graphs for a complete and rapid understanding of each data collected during the flight.

DRONE-MAGNETOMETER INTEGRATION

MagArrow Magnetometer by Geometrics for geophysical data surveying

  • Lightweight: It weighs only 1kg, allowing 20% longer flight time on a 2.5kg payload drone.
  • Standalone solution: GPS, storage, and WiFi onboard.
  • Fast sampling rate: flies faster, up to 10 m/s, with samples every 1 cm. Filter the noise of the UAV engine.
  • Real-Time Data: View data in the field using any device.
