Hyperspectral Surveys
400–2500nm imaging spectroscopy across 470 contiguous bands for surface mineralogy classification, vegetation stress mapping, and hydrocarbon micro-seep detection.
Reading the Spectral Signature of the Earth
Every mineral, every plant, every hydrocarbon film reflects light differently across the visible-to-shortwave-infrared spectrum. Hyperspectral imaging captures that signature in 470 narrow bands per pixel — turning a square kilometer of desert into a chemistry map.
Air Solutions operates dual VNIR (400–1000nm) and SWIR (1000–2500nm) sensors on stabilized gimbal platforms — co-registered to RTK-GNSS positioning and corrected for atmospheric absorption using radiative transfer models. The output is reflectance imagery, not raw radiance, ready for direct spectral library matching.
The technique is non-invasive, covers ground at fixed-wing speeds, and surfaces what the human eye and even multi-spectral satellite sensors cannot — alteration halos around buried ore bodies, vegetation stress over leaking pipelines, and clay-mineral assemblages diagnostic of porphyry systems.
