Airborne IR measurement service available

FEBRUARY 13--In conjunction with several leading helicopter manufacturers, CEDIP Infrared Systems, a manufacturer of IR camera systems, has launched a comprehensive airborne IR measurement and image-gathering service. Operating throughout Europe, the new service provides a complete solution (helicopter, measurement system, and experienced measurement team) for applications including remote IR inspection of sites of historical interest and IR signature analysis of different ground terrain.

Installed into a stabilized gimball mount in the cockpit of a helicopter, the multispectral sensing system provides real-time data recording and processing capabilities. Based upon CEDIP's advanced SATIR multispectral imaging system, an operator can remotely image and record high-definition data from the visible to the LWIR region (1-12 μm). All images are recorded and cross-indexed with precise geographic reference data. After recording, the CEDIP measurement team uses proprietary software for aggregating images into a single high definition image of typically 5000 x 5000 pixels.
