A pointable, helicopter-based remote sensing data acquisition system for collecting bidirectional reflectance data
Abstract
Discussed here is a new configuration of a helicopter-borne remote sensing system to support field measurements programs such as studies of forest decline damage associated with atmospheric deposition and the Forest Ecosystems Dynamics project. In this new configuration, the sensor payload is mounted externally on a hinged pallet located on the starboard side of the Bell Iroquois UH-1B (HUEY) helicopter. The sensor payload includes a set of bore-sighted instruments consisting of a Barnes Modular Multiband Radiometer (MMR), a Spectron Engineering (SE) 590 spectroradiometer, an Everest infrared temperature sensor, and a Sony CCD video camera with a 10x zoom lens. The system was tested and excellent data was acquired in 1990.
