Hyperspectral Sensor for Large-Area Monitoring of Carbon-Dioxide Reservoirs and Piplines

Resonon and Montana State University are working on a DOE STTR Phase I project devoted to the development of an airborne spectral imaging system for monitoring carbon-dioxide leaks from underground reservoirs and pipelines.

 

 

 

Hyperspectral Image Projector System (HIP)

Resonon is under contract with the National Institute of Standards and Technology to design a hyperstpectral image projector system capable of projecting images containing as many as 1000 wavelength bands in both the VNIR and SWIR for the performance evaluation of imaging systems.

 

Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY)

Resonon has been selected by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to design the next generation Marine Optical Buoy, use to measure upwelling radiance and downwelling irradiance at the sea surface for calibrating and validating spectral imaging satellites.

 

Miniature, High Fidelity Imaging Spectrometer

A SBIR Phase II grant from the Air Force aims to develop a miniature imaging spectrometer for use aboard the emerging generation of small UAVs. The miniature system promises high data fidelity at large apertures while maintaining a very small footprint.

Large Aperture Imaging Spectrometer for Proteomics

A project funded by a Phase II STTR through the National Science Foundation to develop a large aperture imaging spectrometer for analyzing 2D proteomic gels is underway.

 

Past Projects:


Low Cost Imaging Spectrometer

A grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a radically low cost imaging spectrometer.

 

Down Hole Probe for Ore Grade Assessment

A project to develop a borehole ore grade sensor based on hyperspectral imaging and induced polarization was funded by a SBIR Phase II grant from the Department of Energy. This project aimed to analyze ore grade before blasting, reducing the amount of waste rock created. As a result, mining operations become more efficient and less damaging to the environment.


UAV-borne Hyperspectral Vegetation Sensor

The United States Department of Agriculture funded a SBIR Phase I project to utilize a hyperspectral sensor mounted in a small UAV to monitoring crop health, locating weeds, measuring fuel loading in forests, and environmental monitoring of waterways.


Phase Sensitive Spectroscopy

A completed project to develop a trace gas sensor based on phase sensitive spectroscopy was funded by a SBIR Phase II grant from the National Science Foundation. This project aimed to utilize phase shifts in an amplitude modulated laser beam to quantify the amount of trace gas in a sample by measuring the phase shift of the modulated beam. This project was done in alliance with a world leader in commercial trace-gas sensing.
