Abstract

The SWIR full spectrum imager (SFSI) is an imaging spectrometer, covering the short-wave infrared (SWIR) from 1200 to 2400 nm, which has been developed for remote sensing from an airborne platform. The sensor has been designed to acquire the full spectrum at high spectral resolution (10 nm) and the full image swath at high spatial resolution (50 cm) simultaneously. The instrument utilizes a platinum silicide (PtSi) detector array, refractive optics, and a transmission grating. A VME bus computer communicates with the array controller, performs the data acquisition, and provides the operator interface. The camera and data acquisition subsystems have been completed and test flown. The fore-optics, spectrograph, and sensor housing have been fabricated. Integration of the camera, spectrograph, and auxiliary components is scheduled for July 1994 followed by laboratory testing and calibration. Our goal is to obtain pilot project data by the end of autumn 1994. Here we describe the optical design, the sensor system, early test flight image data, and expected sensor performance based on laboratory testing. The objectives and procedures for the spectral, geometric, and radiometric calibration of this sensor are also discussed.
