Specim AFX Series
The Specim AFX series is an airborne hyperspectral imaging solution based on the hugely successful Specim FX series. It is a compact all-in-one device that includes an HSI camera, powerful computer and a high-end GNSS/IMU unit.
At just over 2 kg, the Specim AFX can be used on multiple drone types – multirotor or fixed-wing, with or without a gimbal. AFX series capabilities range from full hyperspectral to flexible application-specific multispectral.
Specim AFX benefits
All-in-one UAV HSI solution
The Specim AFX combines an HSI camera, powerful computer and high-end GNSS/IMU unit in a compact airborne imaging system.
Flexible drone mounting
The system can be used on multiple drone types, including multirotor and fixed-wing platforms, with or without a gimbal.
Hyperspectral and multispectral modes
Multiple spectral ROI enables both full hyperspectral and flexible application-specific multispectral configurations.
Accurate georeferencing
The in-built computer and survey-grade GNSS/IMU provide close synchronisation between image capture and location data for accurate georeferencing.
Improved optical performance
Fore lens aberrations are fully characterised, with significantly less smile and keystone and the ability to collect more light.
Autonomous data collection
A pre-prepared flight plan can be uploaded to the system, allowing the user to select parameters that control when data is captured.
Optional software enables enhanced location data post processing for even greater accuracy in cases where a small GSD (Ground Sampling Distance) is required. Manual ground-control can also be added with the use of a radio link.
Applications
Vegetation classification and species identification using airborne hyperspectral imaging.
Analyse soil characteristics from airborne hyperspectral image data.
Support environmental monitoring and water-quality analysis from UAV platforms.
Monitor wetlands and environmental change with georeferenced hyperspectral data.
Use airborne imaging to support wildlife population studies and monitoring.
Capture spectral information for minerals exploration and survey applications.
Detect crop health issues and disease signatures using hyperspectral data.
Support search and rescue operations using airborne spectral imaging.
Use airborne hyperspectral imaging for coastal and marine monitoring applications.
