Our lab located in Des Peres Hall 209 suite is equipped with a number of remote sensing instruments including a fleet of unmanned aerial systems, hyperspectral, thermal and multispectral cameras, a hand-held spectroradiometer, and airborne data calibration instrument.
Software tools include latest version of ArcGIS, Trimble GPS, Pix4D, and ENVI+IDL with all modules (SARscape, Photogrammetry, Atmospheric Correction, etc). Regular Workstations: 40 Parallel computing: three Dell Workstations with dual GPU (nVidia Quadro P6000), parallel computing CPU, 768GB RAM, 60TB solid state disk space. |
Headwall Co-Aligned VNIR-SWIR Headwall VNIR+SWIR co-aligned system mounted on a Alta-X drone platform, providing hyperspectral imagery at VNIR-SWIR range from 400 nm - 2500nm.
Hyspex VNIR3000N + SWIR640 benchtop scanning
World-class indoor and tripod scanning system by Hyspex providing imaging capabilities at VNIR 400-1000 nm
(300 bands with 1.8 nm resolution) and SWIR 960-2500 nm (360 bands with 1.2 nm resolution), ideal for material chemistry analysis such as seed composition, soil/water quality, medicine, and explosives. Headwall Nano VNIRThe Nano-Hyperspec® VNIR (400-1000nm) sensor is integrated on DJI Matrice 600 Pro with FLIR Vue Pro R thermal camera and APX-15 GPS/IMU.
Multi-camera aerial robotBayspec OCI-F-1000 hyperspectral camera, ICI thermal and Parrot Sequoia multispectral cameras are integrated to a multiroter system. The gimbal was custom designed in-house and 3D printed by our students.
OCI-F hyperspectral cameraOCI-F is a custom designed UAS hyperspectral camera from BaySpec Inc. (San Jose, CA) which has 230 bands from 400 nm to 1000 nm spectral range with 3-5 nm spectral resolution.

Riegl miniVux-3UAVThe RIEGL miniVUX-3UAV is an extremely lightweight LiDAR sensor integrated with PRISM Sky Blue drones.
HDL-32-Channel LiDARHigh resolution 32-channel LiDAR from Velodyne integrated on Matrice 600 Pro, very high resolution IMU/GNSS. It weighs 2.4 kg, collects survey-grade data (700 thousand points per second) with an AGL range up to 65 m and features multi-target capacity with up to 2 target echoes per laser shot.
PSR-3500 VIS-NIR-SWIR Spectroradiometer350-2500 nm spectral range with spectral resolution 3nm (700nm); 8nm @ 1500nm; & 6nm @ 2100nm, from Spectral Evolution (Lawrence, MA 01840 USA)
Parrot SequoiaParrot Sequoia is a small multispectral sensor. It captures 16MB visible (RGB) images and non-visible spectral (red edge and NIR) data that are ideal for monitoring crop health and vigor.
Custom built camera arrayThe lab has two multi-camera array systems integrated with five different imaging cameras: a thermal, a multispectral, a NDVI, and two RGB cameras. The RGB cameras mounted at different angles (nadir and 45°) which provides true ortho images, topography, and height.
