Imperx Bobcat 29MP Visible Camera

The Bobcat 29MP Visible Camera is an airborne visible camera developed by Imperx, Inc. It is part of the IcePod instrument suite operated by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of the Earth Institute at Columbia University. It captures visible imagery with a pixel resolution of 6576 x 4384, a swath width of 1.2 km, and a maximum frame rate of 20 Hz. These images can be used to determine ice concentration, topography, and ice melt.
