UAV-BASED INTEGRATED MULTISENSOR PAYLOAD FOR HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGING.

This paper describes the development of a multisensor UAV-based imaging platform. A sensor package consisting of a LiDAR, imaging spectrometer, and RGB camera were integrated with an inertial navigation system. This package is currently being flown on a hexacopter. A number of data acquisition missions have been conducted with this platform, including the imaging of a small active rotational mass movement, a wetland estuary, and several vineyards.
