SPECIM Introduces New V10M Imaging Sensor for UAV Applications

SPECIM has rolled out a hyperspectral imaging sensor that has the dimensions needed for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and other demanding applications. The new high-resolution V10M sensor has been developed to meet the increasing market demand.

The V10M sensor functions in the VIS/NIR wavelength range of 380 - 1000 nm. It offers high-quality spatial and spectral imaging, with very little sub-pixel distortions. The high-resolution of the sensor does not compromise on the imaging speed, achieving 100 images per second with spectral binning.

The sensor’s enhanced optical light throughput, together with the sophisticated detector technology guarantees a high signal-to-noise ratio. The specifications meet the demands for target identification with diverse swath width, for airborne uses. The V10M sensor weighs less than 0.9 kg, including a camera and a spectrograph.

The V10M sensor is based on the ImSpector M range of imaging spectrographs. The technology is specifically used for increasing the spatial resolution of push-broom imaging solutions. It operates with detector arrays that are up to 24 mm wide, and is optimized for functioning in adverse environments.
