UAV Sensor Suite
Overview
Our UAV suite includes multispectral cameras, thermal and RGB imagers, and two hyperspectral imagers (one VNIR only) covering the 350 nm to 2500 nm range. The sensors within the UAV suite provide data which can be used in six of the eight NERC science themes, by providing reflectance data over terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments. The spatial resolution of the sensors depend upon the field of view of the sensor and the altitude at which the sensor is flown. All spatial resolutions quoted in the individual instrument pages are at 50 m flight altitude, which is the median flight altitude at which most UAV loans are conducted.
