3D-Printed Hyperspectral Imagers Designed for UAVs

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email
Researchers used 3D printing and low-cost parts to create an inexpensive hyperspectral imager that is light enough to use on drones. The visible-wavelength hyperspectral imager (HSI) weighs less than half a pound and, according to researchers, can be built for as little $700 (USD). In a recent paper the team provides directions for creating the HSI. Researchers used 3D printing to create hyperspectral imagers that are light enough to use on a drone. The imager is the small protrusion on the bottom of the drone's body. Courtesy of João Fortuna, Norwegian University of Science and...Read full article

    hyperspectral imaging
    Methods for identifying and mapping materials through spectroscopic remote sensing. Also called imaging spectroscopy; ultraspectral imaging.
    visible spectrum
