Abstract
The Finnish Geospatial Research Institute hyperspectral LiDAR (FGI HSL) was one of the first multichannel terrestrial LiDARs capable of producing simultaneous 3-dimensional topography with spectral data. Supercontinuum-based HSL instruments developed so far have suffered from portability and sensitivity issues, severely restricting potential applications. Recently, we have implemented a new robust field design of the FGI HSL together with an improved pulse digitizing scheme. Small size and significantly improved measuring accuracy of this new system enable a range of novel applications that so far have been impractical for multichannel terrestrial LiDARs. Particularly, this new design has enabled us to perform measurements in underground mines and detect minute spectral differences in various rock types. In this paper, we present the design of our new LiDAR and preliminary algorithms together with a brief performance assessment of the device. In addition, we provide example measurements of typical rock samples found in a ferrochrome mine.
