Airborne Package Operation; Nano-Hyperspec ® - Airborne Package Components - Headwall Nano-Hyperspec Operation Manual

CHAPTER 1 AIRBORNE PACKAGE OPERATION
The airborne package is a combination of hardware, consisting of the motion tracker, IMU and GPS antenna, and software
that operates with the Nano-Hyperspec
software installation and operation. The airborne package is used to seamlessly adjust the orthogonal perspective of data
collected during manned or UAV flights. The orthogonal adjustment is done within the SpectralView
®
Hyperspec III through the ortho-rectification process. For the software to effectively correct the data cube during the
ortho-rectification process the position of the IMU needs to be set so the correct orientation off-sets can be applied to the
post processing, ortho-rectification. The steps to accomplish this process are within the section of this document, Nano-
IMU Attachment.
The following is a list of the components that make up the airborne package covered in this section. The complete sensor
system, as delivered, may have additional or alternative components. These alternative components are identified in the
enclosed package of system documentation included with the unit. This chapter deals only with the IMU and Nano
combination airborne package.

location and orientation, such as yaw, pitch or roll, to the Nano for inclusion into the data cube for the particular scan. For
each performed scan, the Nano stores the data cube in the scan folder in its memory. Once the scanning is completed the
file contents can be downloaded, using the Transfer feature within Hyperspec
