New Multi-Spectral Digital Imaging System Technologies
Track: Remote Sensing Imagery
Author(s): Jon Kish

This paper explores the next generation Multi-spectral Digital Imaging system. It is currently being developed to provide a cost effective system for use in collecting aerial reconnaissance data. The system is composed of two Wide Field of View (WFOV) and one Narrow Field of View (NFOV) Illunis digital cameras. When combined, the WFOV cameras generate an image consisting of 3600 pixels in width and 2000 pixels in height (7.2 MegaPixel). A 4000 x 2700 pixel (11 MegaPixel) image is produced from the NFOV camera. A Color-Infrared (CIR) composite image is produced from the WFOV cameras. Conversely, a natural color (Red, Green, and Blue) RGB image is produced from the NFOV camera. Compared to the current MDIS system imaged at comparable ground sampling distances (GSD), the larger footprint size provided by the next generation system would allow areas of interest to be acquired in fewer flight lines.
