Salient Characteristics for a lightweight, UAV-Compatible HSI Camera to perform spectral analysis of crops to reduce environmental impact and increase production. The Unit shall have: - a. The camera shall be expressly designed for integration onto a USDA-owned DJI Matrice 600 Pro UAV. - b. Shall be a hyperspectral imaging camera, not a multispectral camera - c. Shall be a "push-broom" spectral imager, and shall not be a "snapshot" or framing camera - d. Shall be a fully-integrated Hyperspectral Imager with embedded Solid-State Data Storage in a 3"x 3" x 3.5" module - e. Shall have a maximum weight < 2 lbs (including a 17mm F/L fore-optic lens and dedicated GPS/IMU). This low weight is required so as to maximize UAV flight times - f. Spectral imager with integrated solid-state storage shall have a maximum power draw of <15 watts - g. Shall have an aberration-corrected, Offner-style Concentric Imager design; Transmission grating- and prism-based optics are not acceptable - h. Shall have an F/2.5 or better aperture for high throughput - i. Shall have a 640 x 512 silicon CMOS 2-D array detector - j. Shall have a minimum 400-1,000nm spectral range - k. Shall have appropriate 2nd Order filtering - l. Shall have a minimum of 640 cross-track spatial pixels - m. Shall have a minimum of 270 spectral pixels - n. Shall have 5nm FWHM spectral resolution using a 20 micron wide entrance slit; (This is not the grating dispersion or the "pixel resolution") - o. Shall have a concentric imager design that affords excellent MTF Spatial Resolution for crisp images - p. Shall have a concentric imager design that nearly eliminates Smile and Keystone distortions thereby eliminating cross-talk that will degrade spectral and spatial resolution - < 2 of smile and < 2 of keystone distortions on the array Region of Interest (ROI) - q. Shall have a low-scatter "Original" convex diffraction grating that achieves low stray light for accurate photometric measurements and better quantitative results (a Replicated diffraction grating is unacceptable) - r. Shall have an all-reflective concentric imager design that eliminates chromatic dispersion allowing all wavelengths in the spectral range to be in focus at once - s. Shall have a maximum frame rate of 300Hz for fast data collection - t. Shall have >450 GB of high speed, solid-state storage that shall be integrated onto the spectral imager - u. Shall have an integrated, compact GPS/IMU and antennae - v. The Spectral Imager control software shall include a "Polygons" software program that allows the user to set up auto-triggering so that the imager only captures data over GPS-defined areas of interest - w. Shall have an easy, high-speed Ethernet transfer of data to your laptop - x. Required Data Processing Software shall reside on a laptop and allow for off-line data processing while subsequent flight missions are being performed - y. Required Data Processing Software shall allow for processing (Radiance conversion, Reflectance conversion, and batch Ortho-Rectification) and viewing of HSI data cubes. It also shall allow for basic Classification analysis to be performed - z. Data cubes shall be saved as industry-standard ENVI-compatible files - aa. A fully-calibrated Reflectance Tarp shall be included with the system - bb. The chosen vendor shall provide integration onto a USDA-owned DJI Matrice 600 UAV - cc. The HSI Camera shall have a customized, actively-stabilized gimbal for the customer-owned DJI Matrice 600 UAV - dd. Future work may require a higher spatial resolution, therefore a fully-telecentric 37mm F/L fore-optic lens shall be available that can used on the C-mount lens mount of the spectral imager. - ee. The required system shall include a 16-channel LiDAR system that is integrated onto the stabilized gimbal along with the Hyperspectral Imaging Camera and the GPS/IMU, and shall provide Digital Elevation Models that can improve the ortho-rectification of the resulting spectral images - ff. Shall be commercially available. - gg. One Year Warranty parts and labor. Optional Item: - hh. The system shall include a 4Mp CMOS RGB "context" camera that is integrated into the HSI sensor The Contractor shall provide all items F.O.B. destination.
