HyPlant

HyPlant is an airborne imaging spectrometer developed by Forschungszentrum Jülich and SPECIM Spectral Imaging Ltd for vegetation monitoring. It operates as a push-broom spectrometer and comprises two hyperspectral imaging spectrometers: a dual-channel imager and a fluorescence imager. The dual-channel imager measures surface reflectance across the visible/near-infrared (VNIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) regions (370-2500 nm), with 3 nm spectral resolution in the VNIR and 10 nm in the SWIR. The fluorescence imager measures solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) in the red spectral region (670-780 nm) at a spectral resolution of 0.25 nm. At a flight altitude of 600 meters above ground level, HyPlant has a swath width of 380 meters and an across-track spatial sampling interval of 98 centimeters.
