A new class of miniature optical sensors and data processing methodology that redefine the utility of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) for environmental monitoring and precision farming. ENABLING SMARTER FARMING To keep pace with the world’s soaring population, farmers will need to produce more food in the next 50 years than over the past 10,000 years combined (Mission Critical, May 2014). Precision farming (PF) holds the key to the sustainable future of agriculture. The success of PF will rest on improved sensing and automation INTEGRATED TURN-KEY SOLUTION VISNX offers a complete end-to-end solution for large-scale acquisition, processing and analysis of airborne hyperspectral imaging (HSI) data. We provide the world’s smallest and lightest hyperspectral imaging (HSI) sensor with unique ‘snapshot’ design that dramatically reduces cost and operational complexity. www.visnx.com | [email protected] | VISNX SA, Bâtiment C, EPFL Innovation Park, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland | © VISNX 2014 World’s smallest and lightest hyperspectral imaging sensor optimised for deployment on small unmanned aircraft systems Sensor VISNX Vis-16 VISNX NIR-25 VISNX NIR-100s Configuration snapshot snapshot line-scanner Spatial resolution 2MP (2048 x 1088 px) 2MP (2048 x 1088 px) 2048 px swath Spectral range 450 – 630 nm 600 – 1000 nm 600 – 1000 nm Spectral resolution 16 channels 25 channels 100 channels Pixel size 5.5 x 5.5 μm 5.5 x 5.5 μm 5.5 x 5.5 μm Shutter type global global global Dynamic range 60dB 60dB 60dB SNR max 41.3 dB 41.3 dB 41.3 dB Maximum frame rate 16 fps 16 fps 30 fps Exposure time 20 μs – 1 s 20 μs – 1 s 20 μs – 20 ms Integrated optics 25mm, f/2.8, 2/3’’ 25mm, f/2.8, 2/3’’ 25mm, f/2.8, 2/3’’ Integrated storage SD card 32GB SD card 32GB SD card 64GB Trigger in ✓ ✓ N/A Event out ✓ ✓ ✓ Serial port ✓ ✓ ✓ Dimensions 60 x 55 x 40 mm 60 x 55 x 40 mm 80 x 60 x 40 mm Weight 160 gr 160 gr 220 gr Camera module Applications • Precision farming ◦ detection of crop diseases, stress and weeds ◦ growth monitoring and treatment optimisation ◦ yield prediction • Environmental monitoring • Nature resource management • Water quality control • Forest management www.visnx.com | [email protected] | VISNX SA, Bâtiment C, EPFL Innovation Park, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland | © VISNX 2014
