Bridges, dams, railways, pipelines, and even the asphalt on busy airport runways require regular inspection. Drone-based hyperspectral imaging allows data collection across a broad spectrum, detecting early signs of corrosion or leaks while minimizing risks to personnel.
All materials degrade over time, and when those materials support the structural integrity of infrastructure like buildings, dams, towers, bridges, railways, and roads, or ensure energy delivery through pipelines and electrical lines, early detection can save lives and reduce costs.
Traditional on-site testing methods are labor-intensive and offer only a snapshot of a larger area. Often, only a small portion of a large surface is inspected, with the hope that it accurately represents the entire area. Hyperspectral imaging solves this issue by scanning wide areas in one pass and providing detailed data across the entire visible and near-infrared spectrum.
Headwall offers both commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hyperspectral imaging sensors and customized turnkey solutions designed for large-scale, risk-free remote sensing. Our product range covers the visible (VNIR) and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, ensuring long-lasting safety and efficiency for your infrastructure.
Hyperspectral imaging captures detailed spectral data for every pixel of an object, allowing for the detection of subtle material differences that are invisible to the naked eye. This technology can be mounted on drones for large-scale, risk-free inspections.
