Satellite and airborne hyperspectral and multispectral imaging are technologies used in a wide range of remote sensing applications. These tools allow researchers to detect patterns and identify surface materials.
Correlating and confirming the data obtained from hyperspectral and multispectral images requires fieldwork. Ground sensing using a portable field spectroradiometer improves accuracy and adds detail to the basic data provided by the hyperspectral or multispectral images. Field reflectance spectroscopy can be performed without sample preparation or destruction for both geological/geochemical and vegetation applications.
SPECTRAL EVOLUTION offers lightweight, portable and high-performance field spectroradiometers for ground-based sensing of hyperspectral and multispectral data in:
- Geological remote sensing
- Vegetation studies
- Research the canopy
- Research on water bodies
- Environmental Studies
- Observation and measurement of climate change
- Ice and snow research
- Crop and soil studies
Our PSR+ 3500 and NaturaSpec™ spectroradiometers and the RS-3500 Remote Sensing Bundle are great for correlating satellite data in the field and offer the following features:
- Fast, full spectrum UV/VIS/NIR with a single scan
- Auto shutter, auto exposure, auto dark correction for one-touch scanning
- Superior field reliability without moving optical parts
- Lightweight (8.94 lbs) and compact
- Rechargeable, lightweight lithium-ion batteries
- Removable fiber optic cable – field interchangeable
- Best in class NER (equivalent appearance with low noise)
- Bluetooth and USB connectivity
- Optional, rugged handheld tablet with digital camera with autofocus, GPS and sunlight-readable display
- DARWin SP Data Acquisition software saves files as ASCII for use with third-party analysis software, has drop-down menus to access 19 vegetation indices
Software with 19 built-in vegetation indices
DARWin SP Data Acquisition software provides access to 19 vegetation indices via actual drop-down menus including NVDI, SR, SAVI, ARVI, EVI, IPVI, PRI, SBI, PAR and more. Additionally, because DARWin saves your spectra as ASCII files, they can be used with a variety of other software programs.
Here read which satellites provide images to researchers for remote sensing and which software programs are used by researchers in the field of remote sensing.
