HyMap
HyMap Hyperspectral Scanner

The HyMap Hyperspectral Scanner is a commercial airborne imaging spectrometer developed by Integrated Spectronics Inc. in Sydney, Australia. It employs a whiskbroom scanner to capture hyperspectral imagery across 128 bands within the reflective solar wavelength range (0.45-2.5 μm). It offers a spatial resolution of 2 to 10 meters, a swath width of 60 to 70 degrees, and a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 500:1. HyMap has been used for mapping vegetation, soils, agriculture, and minerals.
