imec SNAPSHOT UAV VIS+NIR

How can a spectral camera become an analyzing tool in situations where the motion is not linear and perfectly controlled? This payload can help you develop a fully integrated solution that will make the acquisition of high quality spectral data on a flight mode easy and fast. The two embedded snapshot imagers VIS and RedNIR enable a user-friendly approach with real-time acquisition, processing and down-streaming of the application data at video rate from drone-based systems, focusing only on the application and research. 

This UAV platform is compatible with the DJI M600 Pro and it can be connected in one click. Users can modify it in any way required for the integration into other flight controllers. It can be used as a development tool for hardware and software to end up in a complete UAV solution. Different arrangements and new ideas can be derived from utilizing this technology platform for drone-like applications such as precision agriculture and environment sensing.
