STANDOFF INFRARED HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING SYSTEM
The Telops Hyper-Cam is an advanced standoff infrared hyperspectral imaging system. This remote sensing instrument combines high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution providing unmatched performance. It is a versatile tool for remote detection, identification and quantification, and is ideal for field measurements. The unique spectral features of gases and solids are obtained upon modulation of the incoming infrared radiation from the scene by a Michelson interferometer. A high resolution spectrum is then recorded at each pixel of a focal plane array (FPA) detector. By comparing a measured spectrum with reference spectral signatures of known gases and solids, the constituents of a target can be easily identified.
HYPER-CAM KEY BENEFITS
SPATIAL RESOLUTION AND IMAGING QUALITY
The Hyper-Cam provides an excellent image quality with the 320 × 256 pixels FPA detector. The 6.4 × 5.1° field of view (FOV) can be easily modified using different optics.
HIGH SPECTRAL RESOLUTION
The Hyper-Cam offers the best spectral resolution available. The spectral features of the targets can be well resolved providing good selectivity. It is user-selectable from 0.25 cm-1 to 150 cm-1.
TEMPORAL RESOLUTION
Hyperspectral datacubes are recorded as a function of time allowing characterization of time-dependent events like gas cloud dispersion and combustion. Measurement time varies with acquisition parameters ; this allows the fastest recording of dynamic events.
OUTSTANDING SENSITIVITY AND ACCURACY
Low noise equivalent spectral radiance (NESR) combined with automated high efficiency calibration sources ensure excellent accuracy at all times.
HYPER-CAM LW
The Hyper-Cam Long-Wave (LW) is typically used for the characterization of gas clouds, minerals and materials at ambient temperature.
HYPER-CAM MW
The Hyper-Cam Mid-Wave (MW) is ideal for characterization of gas clouds, combustion, smokestacks and target signatures warmer than ambient temperature.
HYPER-CAM MWE
An extended spectral range can be reached with the Hyper-Cam MidWave Extended (MWE) as it includes a part of the shortwave infrared spectral range. Typical applications include characterization of hightemperature events such as detonation and combustion.
FAST VERSION
The Hyper-Cam sensor data rate is remarkably fast, being only limited by the FPA readout time at a given spectral resolution. The HyperCam MW and MWE are available in a « Fast » version that includes a high speed FPA.
