Abstract
The Remote Sensing Technology Institute (IMF) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) operates an airborne imaging spectrometer system called HySpex. Owing to its accurate calibration, the system is well suited for benchmark reference measurements and feasibility studies for Earth observation applications. The sensor also serves as simulator for the upcoming German satellite mission EnMAP. HySpex covers the spectral range from the visible and near infrared (VNIR) to the short wave infrared (SWIR) and it has been extensively characterised with numerous measurements in the IMF calibration laboratory (CHB). The HySpex instrument is made available to interested third party users through the user service Optical Airborne Remote Sensing and Calibration Homebase (OpAiRS).
Highlights
In 2011 the IMF procured an airborne imaging spectrometer system with the intention to investigate potential earth observation applications for the German satellite mission EnMAP1. This HySpex system purchased from the Norwegian Company Norsk Elektro Optikk A/S (NEO) features two di erent cameras covering the visible and near infrared (VNIR) and short wave infrared (SWIR) spectral domain
The result is a very well characterised high precision instrument suited for benchmark earth observation applications
The spectrometer system consists of two individual sensors: a HySpex VNIR-1600 covering the VNIR spectral domain and a SWIR-320m-e for the SWIR
Summary
In 2011 the IMF procured an airborne imaging spectrometer system with the intention to investigate potential earth observation applications for the German satellite mission EnMAP1. This HySpex system purchased from the Norwegian Company Norsk Elektro Optikk A/S (NEO) features two di erent cameras covering the VNIR and SWIR spectral domain. Both cameras have been extensively characterised at IMF in cooperation with the National German Metrology Institute (PTB). The result is a very well characterised high precision instrument suited for benchmark earth observation applications. HySpex is available to external customers and research facilities (see chapter 4)
