Precise visibility in dozens of bands

Hyperspectral imaging takes optical observation to the next level, allowing the differentiation of plant species, soils and materials from a distance, and at scale.

Hyperspectral sensors provide additional layers of understanding by looking into multiple narrow spectral bands.

This makes it possible to discern objects through their unique spectral profiles, vastly enhancing optical observation.

Our partner for hyperspectral imagery is Wyvern, who operate the Dragonette constellation capable of near-daily revisit and imaging in 31 spectral bands. Wyvern’s archive of more than 1800 images can be browsed in our application.

Spotting the (hidden) differences

Multispectral imaging is widespread and relatively easy to use. It is standard when it comes to composing agricultural or water indices that give a glimpse vegetative or soil systems.

But hyperspectral sensors allow a level of precision that is not available on multispectral. The multiple narrow bands of a hyperspectral sensor make it possible to spot differences in the chemical composition of observed objects, allowing diverse applications ranging from plant species differentiation to mineral prospecting.
