The San Jose State University (SJSU) Wildfire Imaging System (SWIS) is an airborne imaging system operated by the SJSU Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center (WIRC). It uses a mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and a long-wave infrared (LWIR) optical sensor to capture multispectral images of wildfires. The MWIR camera, made by Telops, has a spectral range of 3-5 μm and a resolution of 640x512 pixels. The LWIR camera, made by Workwell, covers a spectral range of 7.5-13.5 μm and has a resolution of 640x512 pixels. The SWIS camera system provides imagery at 30 Hz with a ground sampling distance of 2-3 meters and a swath width of 1.3-2 km.
