Operational Specifications

  • At 70% and 20% overlap, with 20 cm GSD and flying at 140 knots, the data collection period is approximately 6 hours per SSD unit
  • Post-processing can begin in the air and be completed on the ground with a laptop or group of PCs
  • Image geometric accuracy is better than +/- 2 μm
  • Time between frame collections is 2.5 seconds
  • Weight of UltraCamLp is approximately 55 kg (only sensor unit required, no additional computing and storage units)


Configurations

Sensor Sub-system
(integrated in the sensor head)

  • Simultaneously collects Pan, RGB
    and NIR
  • Panchromatic image size is 11,704 x 7,920 pixels; color and NIR image size is 5,320 x 3,600 pixels
  • Processes raw images on board in real time, to compute quick views and histograms

Computing Sub-system (integrated in the sensor head)

  • Processes raw images on board in real time, to compute quick views and histograms

Data Sub-system (integrated in the sensor head)

  • In-flight storage capacity is limited only by number of solid-state storage devices on board, given space and weight constraints of aircraft
  • Approximately 2,500 uncompressed images per device (~1 TB) can be stored
