Overview
A Cutting Edge Airborne Spectral Imager
Current commercial snapshot spectral imagers offer high spectral resolution at the cost of spatial resolution. Typical spatial resolutions offered by these systems are quite low, being in the range of 400X400 pixels. This is because they employ lens arrays of multi-band mosaic filters, projecting a plurality of filtered images onto an imaging sensor, thus dividing their effective areas into several portions dedicated to specific spectral bands. This way, there is always trade-off between spectral and spatial resolution.
The MUSES9-DR innovative technology combines the real-time acquisition of a sufficient set of 4K level spectral images, with an AI-based spectral estimation technique to compose a full hypercube cube, without compromising spectral or spatial resolution. Advanced ultrafast spectral classification runs parallel with the video rate acquisition, displaying supervised or unsupervised classification maps in real time.
