Headwall Photonics Nano HP

Nano HP™

Headwall Photonics hyperspectral Imaging

Compact VNIR Hyperspectral Imaging System Used For Remote Sensing

The Nano HP is the next generation of the Nano-Hyperspec, which made a significant impact within the remote sensing community, emerging as the leading system of its kind.

The Nano HP is available for purchase as a payload integration onto compatible UAVs. Additionally, it can also be integrated as part of some turnkey systems that include the drone. For example the DJI Matrice 300 RTK, DJI Matrice 600 Pro, as well as the FreeFly Alta X (which is made in the USA and supports NDAA-compliance).

Optional sensors and accessories like Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and thermal imagers can also be incorporated into payloads suitable for your unique needs.

Improved performance & Design

The Headwall Nano HP comes with a high-performance GPS/IMU, allowing LiDAR to be added as an integral module. As a result, a Nano HP with LiDAR is lighter and smaller than the original Nano-Hyperspec.

Depending on your payload specifications, you can opt for either fixed- or gimbal-mount configurations. The user-friendly HSInsight interface, accessible via any browser, streamlines the setup process for your Nano HP.

Hyperspec MV.X

Headwall Photonics –Spectral Imaging – Improve The Quality Of Your Food

Hyperspec MV.X Visualize Value at the Speed of Light

The Future of Food using Industry-leading Hyperspec® MV.X platform paired with real-time onboard classification on processing/production lines.

From specialty crops to seafood and poultry, the global food industry adopts advanced tools to ensure the quality and safety of food supplies. Headwall’s award-winning MV.X technology platform overcomes these obstacles by combining a high-performance spectrometer with powerful embedded computing to extract actionable results in real-time. Machine learning and artificial intelligence-powered perClass® MIRA software performs runtime processing and makes model development very intuitive. The web user interface of the MV.X allows for remote control and maintenance of the system.

Concentric Imaging

Headwall’s HYPERSPEC® family of hyperspectral sensors and imaging systems are small, light, and rugged. The simple but elegant all-concentric design uses precisely-engineered master-quality holographic diffraction gratings and mirrors to deliver high signal-to-noise, high spectral and spatial resolution, and a wide, aberration-corrected field of view.

Line-Scanning

HYPERSPEC® sensors are line-scanning hyperspectral cameras (sometimes called pushbroom) that collect reflected light through an image slit. One row of spatial pixels is collected per frame as motion occurs, with each pixel containing full spectral data.
A hyperspectral data cube thus contains complete X, Y, and wavelength data that can be analyzed and managed through Headwall’s powerful applications software.

Key Benefits

Hyperspectral Imaging System: not just a camera
Built for challenging VNIR (400-1000nm) machine-vision applications on the processing line
Fast onboard, embedded processing for real-time classification
GenICam-compliant GigE interface with an IP67-rated housing
Flexible yet robust and straightforward workflo

Hyperspec VNIR – SWIR Co-Aligned

Headwall Photonics –Spectral Imaging

Headwall’s Co-Aligned Dual VNIR-SWIR sensor package with co-aligned pixels for superb imaging performance from 400-2500nm.

Headwall’s VNIR-SWIR imaging sensor leverages a patented aberration-corrected design that provides very high spectral and spatial resolution with stable measurement accuracy. With diffractive optics specifically designed and manufactured by Headwall, the dual hyperspectral sensors do not exhibit image aberrations such as stray light, optical distortions, or thermal instabilities. Along with aberration-corrected imaging, the Hyperspec VNIR-SWIR sensor package offers a wide field of view and high signal-to-noise (SNR) performance. Pixels from both sensors are co-aligned through software.

Headwall’s Hyperspec® VNIR-SWIR sensor provides image data across the broadband range of 400-2500nm, reducing processing times and yielding superior imaging performance. A CMOS FPA is used for the VNIR sensor while a cooled MCT array is used for the SWIR sensor. Inside the enclosure is a high-accuracy GPS/IMU plus the data storage and processing computer. Headwall’s VNIR-SWIR airborne sensor package measures approximately 10.7” x 8.2” x 6.5” in size (272mm x 208mm x 165mm) and weighs approximately 6.25 lb. (2.83 kg), making it suitable for aircraft and certain UAVs.

Hyperspec Nano

Headwall Photonics – Spectral Imaging

Headwall’s new Nano-Hyperspec® is a completely integrated hyperspectral sensor designed for the VNIR (400-1000nm) spectral range.

A completely integrated lightweight (<0.52kg) VNIR hyperspectral sensor for small UAV applications that includes on-board data-processing/storage and GPS/IMU. Today’s UAVs are exceptionally small and light and they demand payloads to match.

A key advantage of Nano-Hyperspec is that it also includes 480GB of on-board data collection/storage, plus attached GPS/IMU functionality. This allows the payload bay of the UAV to be optimized for other needs such as video or thermal imaging. Weight and space is saved, making for a more efficient airborne solution.

Nano-Hyperspec is perfect for today’s new breed of hand-launched UAVs and drones, representing a mix of fixed-wing and multi-rotor models to meet practically any deployment scenario.
