Hyperspectral Cameras

The Hyper-Cam is an advanced passive infrared hyperspectral imaging system that combines high spatial and spectral resolution. It provides real-time radiometrically calibrated data for gas and mineral detection and identification. It is offered in ground-based format, but also as a compact airborne hyperspectral imaging system: the Hyper-Cam Airborne Mini.

The Hyper-Cam Airborne Mini is a revolutionary hyperspectral imaging system that is designed to fit small aircrafts and other compact vehicles. This lightweight imaging sensor is a versatile tool for hyperspectral IR surveys, and a unique instrument for real-time gas detection, identification and quantification.

Key Benefits

Best spectral resolution on the market

No camera does it better than the Hyper-Cam.

Best sensitivity on the market

The Hyper-Cam is able to detect and identify extremely small amounts of gases down to ppm levels (parts per million).

Lightweight and compact (Mini Series)

Our Mini Series (Hyper-Cam Mini xLW and Hyper-Cam Mini Airborne) feature cameras that are easily transportable. The Hyper-Cam Airborne Mini can be installed into an aircraft in minutes, and the Hyper-Cam Mini xLW has a low SWaP for ease of use anywhere.

Two modes of acquisition

Use it in mapping or targeting mode

Real-time capabilities

Detect and identify gases in real-time (as an option in the Airborne Mini version).

More about the Hyper-Cam

Discover the Hyper-Cam Mini xLW

With its small Size, Weight and Power (low SWaP), the new Hyper-Cam Mini xLW can be utilized in harsh conditions and hard-to-reach locations to facilitate high-quality infrared spectral imaging measurements.

Discover the HC Airborne Mini

With its separate optical head and processing unit, swappable fore-optics and powerful software suite, this Hyper-Cam was designed with flexibility in mind.

Get impressive gas detection

With the Telops Hyper-Cam, you can detect and identify gases and locate them precisely in an image or video, pixel by pixel. Recently, scientists from Linköping University, in Sweden, were able to film low-concentration methane emissions in real time - a breakthrough that could play a significant role in the fight against climate change. Their results were published in the prestigious journal Nature Climate Change.

Obtain geo-referenced data

The Hyper-Cam Airborne Mini produces orthorectified, geo-referenced infrared gas detection images which can be overlayed with Google Earth to quickly identify a gas leak. Here, a 10 g/s methane leak is seen at an altitude of 600 m.

Learn how it is used to quantify methane

Magnus Gålfalk is a senior lecturer based at Linköping University with an expertise in environmental science. He uses the Hyper-Cam to measure and calculate methane fluxes from natural sources like lakes and wastewater treatment plants, with the goal of identifying hotspots of methane emission leading to more accurate estimates of greenhouse gas fluxes.

Learn how it is used to quantify methane - Part 2

David Bastviken is a professor at Linköping University. David’s research focuses on the challenge to properly quantify greenhouse gas fluxes from complex landscapes. He and his team have been working to develop new tools to measure carbon dioxide and methane fluxes. Current projects are focused on developing methods that provide high spatial resolution of carbon dioxide and methane fluxes to increase the accuracy of ecosystem level estimates of greenhouse gas emissions.
