Hyperspectral Imaging Payload with LiDAR on a Lightweight Commercial Drone
By integrating Headwall's high-performance hyperspectral imaging systems with GRYFN's advanced software and calibration technologies, this partnership delivers a complete, easy-to-use solution for research-grade remote sensing. Customers benefit from a seamless workflow that simplifies data acquisition, processing, and analysis while maintaining the highest levels of accuracy and reliability.
"This partnership unites two industry leaders to provide a complete airborne sensing solution,” said David Blair, VP/GM of Remote Sensing at Headwall. "By combining our hyperspectral imaging technology with GRYFN's software and calibration capabilities, we're making it easier than ever for customers to collect and process high-quality data for real-time decision-making.”
Matt Bechdol, CEO of GRYFN, added, "Our collaboration with Headwall has been years in the making. With increasing demand for hyperspectral data that is both high-quality and easy to use, our integrated approach ensures that customers get the best of both worlds-precision hardware and intuitive software that maximizes their return on investment.”
As part of the agreement, Headwall will offer the GRYFN Processing Tool, an intuitive software solution that integrates UAV-based hyperspectral, LiDAR, and GNSS data. This tool streamlines job management, automates workflows, and enables efficient multi-modal data processing. Additionally, GRYFN's geometric calibration technology eliminates the need for ground control points by specifying sensor parameters, optical characteristics, and platform positioning, ensuring unmatched precision for multi-temporal analytics.
Headwall will be exhibiting in Booth 1523 at SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing, a premier annual event for researchers and commercial practitioners of remote-sensing technology, April 13-17, 2025 in Florida.
