Earnest,

You are undermining your own credibility by denying technological facts.

Summary:Hyperspectral imaging is an important technology for the detection of surface and buried land mines from an airborne platform. For this reason, hyperspectral was included in the three experiments that were executed by the Army RDECOM CERDEC Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) in Fall 2002, Spring 2003 and Summer 2004. The purpose of these experiments was to bring together a wide variety of airborne sensors for the detection of mines, with well ground-truthed targets. The hyperspectral sensors included the airborne hyperspectral imager (AHI), a University of Hawaii LWIR HSI sensor and the compact airborne spectral sensor (COMPASS), an NVESD VNIR/SWIR sensor. These experiments were carried out at sites where extensive arrays of buried and surface mines are deployed. The COMPASS and AHI sensors were both placed on the Twin Otter aircraft, and data was collected with the airplane at a variety of altitudes. In this paper, the data collected on surface mines are reviewed, and specific examples from each background type presented. Spectral detection algorithms are applied to the data and the results of the algorithm processing is presented

SPECIM Contracts Airborne Hyperspectral Sensors for Environmental Monitoring

PR - Spectral Imaging Ltd., announces the completion of several sales agreements of AISA airborne hyperspectral sensors for environmental monitoring applications. “The contracts account for a total value of 1.4 M€ including various AisaEAGLE and AisaDUAL systems purchased by governmental institutes and private remote sensing companies in Germany, Malaysia, Brazil and China. The deliveries will be completed by 2nd Quarter 2009 and the sensors will be used for sustainable forest management, planning of the use of natural resources, precision farming and water quality monitoring” states Dr. Katja Alanko-Huotari, Product Manager for Airborne Sensors at SPECIM. These sales agreements further strengthen SPECIM’s position as a market leading supplier of airborne hyperspectral sensors, with nearly 60 AISA sensors being already in active use globally. Hyperspectral imaging is a versatile imaging technique which provides rich and precise information about targets under investigation. Apart from environmental monitoring, it is increasingly applied in many other areas such as geological exploration and various security and defense applications. Different applications often require different spectral ranges. SPECIM’s AISA sensor family provides airborne hyperspectral imaging solutions from visible to thermal range of electromagnetic radiation thus covering an exceptionally broad range of applications. Additionally, when integrated with other imaging techniques, like LIDAR, hyperspectral imaging becomes an even more powerful remote sensing tool.
