03 March 2009, 9:49am

3 March 2009 SPECIM, Spectral Imaging Ltd., announces the completion of several sales agreements of AISA airborne hyperspectral sensors for environmental monitoring applications. “The contracts account for a total value of 1.4 M€ including various AisaEAGLE and AisaDUAL systems purchased by governmental institutes and private remote sensing companies in Germany, Malaysia, Brazil and China. The deliveries will be completed by 2nd Quarter 2009 and the sensors will be used for sustainable forest management, planning of the use of natural resources, precision farming and water quality monitoring” states Dr. Katja Alanko-Huotari, Product Manager for Airborne Sensors at SPECIM.

These sales agreements further strengthen SPECIM’s position as a market leading supplier of airborne hyperspectral sensors, with nearly 60 AISA sensors being already in active use globally. Hyperspectral imaging is a versatile imaging technique which provides rich and precise information about targets under investigation. Apart from environmental monitoring, it is increasingly applied in many other areas such as geological exploration and various security and defense applications. Different applications often require different spectral ranges. SPECIM’s AISA sensor family provides airborne hyperspectral imaging solutions from visible to thermal range of electromagnetic radiation thus covering an exceptionally broad range of applications. Additionally, when integrated with other imaging techniques, like LIDAR, hyperspectral imaging becomes an even more powerful remote sensing tool.
