Hyperspectral Remote Sensing with the UAS “Stuttgarter Adler” – System Setup, Calibration and First Results

Abstract

(HABOUDANE et al. 2008), while the geometric resolution can be used for the creation of rectified image strips. In the last decades, hyperspectral remote sensing was mainly performed with airborne sensors such as AVIRIS or HyMap, which are employed on manned aircraft (GREEN et al. 1998, COCKS et al. 1998). The development of compact and lightweight imaging spectrometers in the last few years offers the possibility to integrate such instruments in small unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and closes the gap between time-con
