Cubert Hyperspectral Snapshot Imaging– ultra lightweight real-time imaging Spectrometers

  • High speed, snapshot hyperspectral imager in the VNIR range (350-1000 nm) and SWIR range (980 nm – 1650 nm)
  • Portable due to ultra-lightweight design (down to 350 g)
  • Simple with no need of IMU and robust (no moving parts inside)
  • Ideally suited for spectral mobile mapping

Short Description

The Cubert Full frame cameras are non-scanning, easy to use, portable imaging spectrometer especially for UAV applications. With every frame this camera captures a complete 3-dimensional hyperspectral data cube with up to 4 megapixel image resolution pan or 410 x 410 pixel spectral, with up to 164 spectral bands.

The ULTRIS camera line uses a unique technology which establishes a fair balance between areal resolution and spectral resolution. The result is an imaging spectrometer with no need for scanning (like in push broom technology) or image combination after fast filter shifts. Our technology provides clean hyperspectral images out of the box without any moving parts.
In combination with an industry grade processing unit for the on air data storage and the ground communication, a ready to fly weight of >800 g could be achieved.

Functions

  • Smart control suite for hyperspectral cameras with the Cube Ware-Software
  • Wifi remote control of all parameters and real time preview on the ground
  • Real time hyperspectral mapping
  • Easy georeferencing and geocoding using ground based references (GCP) (no IMU needed)
  • Hyperspectral video with up to 20 frames per second
  • Automated image processing to calculate hyperspectral indices (preinstalled and adaptable index library)

Additional to the ultra-lightweight Versions, Cubert provided industrial grade housings for outdoor imaging spectroscopy (hand held) and industrial QS measurements in rough environments. The higher radiometric resolution of 12 bits allows to derivate the smallest differences in spectral properties. The rugged and waterproof design (Certified: CE and IP68) enables a large range of additional applications, underwater applications.
