31 May 2013Novel compact airborne platform for remote sensing applications using the Hyper-Cam infrared hyperspectral imager
High resolution broad-band imagery in the visible and infrared bands provides valuable detection capabilities based on
target shapes and temperatures. However, the spectral resolution provided by a hyperspectral imager adds a spectral
dimension to the measurements, which leads to an additional means of detecting and identifying targets based on their
spectral signature.
The Telops Hyper-Cam sensor is an interferometer-based imaging system that enables the spatial and spectral analysis of
targets using a single sensor. It is based on the Fourier-transform technology, which yields high spectral resolution and
enables a high accuracy radiometric calibration. It provides datacubes of up to 320×256 pixels at spectral resolutions as
fine as 0.25 cm-1. The LWIR version covers the 8.0 to 11.8 μm spectral range. The Hyper-Cam has been recently
integrated and flown on a novel airborne gyro-stabilized platform inside a fixed-wing aircraft.
The new platform, more compact and more advanced than its predecessor, is described in this paper. The first results of
target detection and identification are also presented.
