Dear Tejeshw, for most hyperspectral imaging applications we recommend using a broadband light source, ideally with wide wavelength coverage and even spectral response across the spectrum. Typically that would be a quartz tungsten halogen source which is built into our illumination systems. The light often is directed into an intense but small area where the sensor is directed in order to be as efficient as possible. If you'd like to discuss your particular needs, please send us your email address to [email protected] and we can correspond directly.

@@tejeshwvardhan1165 , if you can send an email to [email protected], I will make sure one of our technical or applications experts responds ASAP.

Hi Bryan, truly challenging, but we're working with Mote to maybe make a positive difference in coral restoration efforts. The team from Headwall and Mote truly rose to the challenge!

Hello @deanwiseen. We're sorry we missed seeing your question until now. We offer multiple payloads but we ensure that all configurations have a total system weight under 55lb. Flight times will vary by conditions but 25 - 30min is a reasonable expectation.

Hi LifeJourneys9877, configurations for Pixhawk-type systems are evolving as opposed to DJI. If you want, you can ask our remote-sensing team. Go to this page, your question will be seen within a business day: www.headwallphotonics.com/contact-us

Hi @lifejourneys9877, according to our chief pilot we do also use a Futaba

Hi Alex, the FreeFly Alta X does feature somewhat longer flight times with comparable payloads. Our 'turnkey' packages come with the flight-planning software for laying out and executing flights as part of larger missions. Another Boehm, Mark Boehm, is our sales manager for remote sensing in the Americas region and is very familiar with both drones. If you'd like, I can have him reach out to you. mboehm( at ) headwallphotonics ( dot ) com.

Dear @hanialkendy7842, indeed we have since discussed our work during presentations at the AGU Annual Meetings and other venues. Are you a member of any remote-sensing or GIS-oriented organizations? You can find posters and presentations available to members online, not just from us but from many researchers around the world on this and other topics. Some of our and our customers' work is available from our website, here: www.headwallphotonics.com/knowledge-center/tag/published-research

Hi Julius, no, that would be what our customers will do. Send us your email address and we can discuss this further: [email protected]

It's likely. Where are you located? I can have someone reach out to you to determine which of our products is the best fit. You can also fill out a contact form on our website, here: www.headwallphotonics.com/contact-us

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you, Jaroslaw!

Glad you liked it

Hi Ashutosh, are you a current customer? It would help to know the system that you are using, with regard to the sensor and platform. Even if not, you can submit a support 'ticket' from our website, here: www.headwallphotonics.com/support-ticketing-system Our support team will make sure to respond as soon as possible. The nice thing about this ticket system is that it ensures questions don't fall through the cracks. Sincerely, Headwall Marketing

Hi Ashutosh, where are you located? I should not presume that you are in the US. Our support team is located at our headquarters in Bolton, Massachusetts operating on US Eastern time.

@@headwall-photonics Hello Sir, I am located in Berlin, Germany cuurntly. I am a project intern in a project for investigating early stage disease symptims in the plants.

@@ashutoshsaini2978 Thanks for the quick reply! Are you a customer (own a Headwall product)? I did a search in my (marketing) database but did not find your name--that said, a lot of times many customers use our systems that are not the original purchaser.

@@headwall-photonics I would like to thank you firsty, fro your fast reply and support. I would say that I am not tone of your customers but I am using SPECIM FX 17 hyperspectral camera in the project.

Hi Thorwald, I apologize for the later response. You can choose the frame-rate and the exposure time of the sensor. In the case of a scanning kit or a compatible drone, you can set the speed. We do have a handy online FOV Calculator on our website that is also incorporated into our software: www.headwallphotonics.com/fov-calculator. Does this help? Sincerely, Headwall Marketing.

Hi, mineral detection is most often done with a NIR or SWIR sensor. However, sometimes there is a desire for detecting and imaging vegetation-encroachment which is most often done in the VIS or VNIR. Headwall makes a very popular VNIR-SWIR sensor that covers the 400-2,500nm region. It can also be equipped with LiDAR. The LiDAR point cloud can be used to create a very accurate high-resolution DEM to aid in orthorectification of the Hyperspectral image and/or creating 3D imagery using the 3D nature of the point cloud and the hyperspectral data captured at the same time. There is a lot of capability in this airborne package. When you say mine exploration, do you mean prospecting or exploring existing open-pit mines? If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]. Depending on your location, we can respond directly or put you in contact with one of our partner resellers worldwide. Thank you for your interest!

Certainly. If you would like to learn more and you are in The Netherlands, I can put you in touch with our team in Europe. Send us an e-mail to [email protected]. We would be happy to discuss your application. Thank you for watching!

@@headwall-photonics Cool! but can't you guys make a snazzy youtube video about it?

Hello, we have just introduced a VNIR model. Where are you located? I can have someone contact you to better understand what you need for your application. You can send us a message at [email protected]. Cheers!

@@headwall-photonics, I'm from Russia. Thanks for the answer. Feedback is not required.

@@PavelKhrabrov You are very welcome. If you do want more information, my colleague John Stephens is responsible for accounts in Russia. He can be reached at jstephens(at)headwallphotonics.com

Hi Hassan, Our sensors create the hyperspectral image by taking advantage of motion. Unlike a conventional sensor, like the one in a smartphone that takes pictures a snapshot at a time, our sensors gather the spectral data of each pixel in a 'line'. That's why you sometimes hear the term for these sensors "linescan" or "pushbroom". As the drone or subject on a conveyor belt moves, an image is formed. And inside our sensors is a Headwall-made holographic grating that splits the light up into a rainbow of colors. Thus, at each (spatial) pixel you get the spectral information. The number of pixels across the sensor dictates the number of 'spatial bands' in one dimension of the image. The design of the grating and imaging array at the focal plane dictates the number of 'spectral bands' you will get. For more information, we have an explanatory document that you can download from here with a nice diagram: headwallphotonics.sharefile.com/d-s3f8501d470a4e89a You can also find information on Wikipedia, here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperspectral_imaging. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]. Cheers!

Hello! Are you asking the name of the company that owns the almond processing facility? Please send your question to [email protected]. Much of this was also made into a How It's Made video (see us around the 3:35 mark): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtqXfc19sN7TqJ8.html. Thanks for watching!

​@@headwall-photonics Thank you for you reply. I'm asking about the Almond company, I am designing a system to identify ores, and I wanted to use a collection robot like the one shown in the video, which collects almonds. Can you help me?

@@rzzengenhariamineracao334 I am told by my colleagues that the robot is made by Fanuc, a company with offices around the world. If you inquire with them and send the link to the video, they should be able to identify the model or better yet, recommend to you a specific model for your needs. Does that help?

@@headwall-photonics Yes, help me a lot. Thank you very much.

Hi, @Rzzengenharia did you contacted with the robot company, actually I'm also making a project of same kind if you can help me with that it will be nice of you. Thank you
