Abstract

The advanced airborne multisensor imaging system (AAMIS) has been developed for a light fixed wing aircraft. It integrates a suite of state-of-the-art electro-optical (EO), thermal, hyperspectral, and Lidar imaging instrument packages for simultaneous active ranging and passive imaging that covers the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum of the visible and near infrared range and the long-wave infrared range. AAMIS has been tested for today's fast mapping and change detection needs. It demonstrates leading performance in providing comprehensive geometric and geophysical aerial image products with high spatial, spectral, radiometric, temporal and range resolutions. High resolution innovative data products collected by AAMIS sensors are presented. These include 3.5 cm resolution orthomosaics for a complete 15 km times 25 km large area coverage, 1 ft resolution hyperspectral images with contiguous 10 nm spectral resolution for the 410-820 nm range, 0.02 K resolution thermal images in a large 1 k by 1 k frame video format, and 20 cm range accuracy 3D Lidar mapping products.
