Hyperspectral with Vision Aerial UAS

by | Nov 9, 2023 | Surveying & Mapping

At Vision Aerial, we remain committed to fostering groundbreaking research through the provision of cutting-edge uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) technology. Our strategic alliance with Resonon, a trailblazer in hyperspectral imaging, amplifies our capabilities, enabling a comprehensive solution for aerial hyperspectral sensing.

An Alliance Forging New Frontiers

Hyperspectral technology marries the sophistication of spectroscopy and digital cameras, empowering researchers to distinguish between similar objects or materials within complex scenes. Unlike conventional digital cameras that capture light in three primary colors (red, green, and blue), hyperspectral cameras dissect light into hundreds of spectral channels. This expansive spectral resolution unveils detailed information about objects, transcending the limitations of human vision and standard cameras.

A Look Beyond the Visible Spectrum

The Vector integrates seamlessly with Resonon’s Pika L, Pika IR-L, and Pika IR-L+ cameras, making them an asset for a myriad of research endeavors. The straightforward setup process is a time-saver, propelling researchers from unboxing to data collection with remarkable ease. Post-purchase, customers are invited to a thorough training regimen at our Bozeman, MT facility, followed by hyperspectral sensor training at Resonon (~8 miles away), ensuring mastery over both UAS operation and hyperspectral data analysis.

Seamless Integration

The integration of hyperspectral technology with our UAS significantly extends the scope and depth of research projects without a corresponding surge in costs. Tackling research quests that were previously unattainable now becomes a reality. Our drones equipped with hyperspectral sensors are a treasure trove of invaluable data across a multitude of disciplines including agriculture, environmental science, and industrial inspections.

Cost-Efficient Innovation: Hyperspectral’s Impact on Research Budgets

Envision the agricultural realm, where hyperspectral sensing emerges as a pinnacle factor in detecting early signs of plant diseases, assessing water quality, and measuring vegetation health. In the construction sector, the task of identifying different tree species to comply with local ordinances morphs from a daunting challenge to a precise and efficient endeavor. The energy sector also benefits significantly, as evaluating surface outcrops and detecting hydrocarbon leaks are streamlined with our integrated hyperspectral solution.

Unlocking Sector-Specific Solutions

The collaboration between Vision Aerial and Resonon symbolizes more than just a technological convergence; it embodies a shared aspiration to propel research endeavors into new realms of discovery. This venture illuminates the transformative potential of melding hyperspectral imaging with UAS technology, setting a new trajectory for scientific and industrial research. The boundless possibilities unfurled by this partnership resonate with our mission at Vision Aerial to create robotics that better humanity.

Collaborative Advancements: Vision Aerial and Resonon’s Partnership in Hyperspectral

As we forge ahead, the excitement surrounding the vast potential of this partnership fuels our dedication to continually refine our offerings, meeting the evolving demands of the research community head-on.
