HyperWATCH

Get deeper analysis with hyperspectral imagery

Traditional satellites only provide four channels or bands (red, green, blue, and near infrared) for imagery. That means you have just four data points to analyze what’s occurring on Earth’s surface.

Hyperspectral imagery collects hundreds of bands or data points across the entirety of the electromagnetic spectrum—from ultraviolet light all the way to thermal infrared. This more accurately presents what's happening on the ground and provides a lot more data to examine more detailed questions.

HyperWATCH is our digital service that uses hyperspectral imagery (HSI) to detect invasive vegetation species or monitor the amount of carbon in soil. It helps us identify natural minerals on the surface and quantify greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. We can also look at soil and water bodies to monitor toxic chemicals from industrial operations in the natural environment.

If you need a true signature that represents your site or environment, connect with us and see if HyperWATCH can help.

Each image band provides a unique data point, which supports more in-depth analysis.
Finite bands can be key indicators of unique mineral properties, toxic signatures, and invasive species.

Chemical analysis

A private landfill company in Arizona used tarps to cover sections of their landfill. To understand their risks, they wanted to know the chemical composition of the tarps. This information would help them determine long-term stability and what chemicals could potentially leech into the ground. With HyperWATCH, we were able to determine the different chemicals used in those tarps and provide the landfill company with long term plan capability.
