Remote Sensing

Helicopter Applicators Incorporated (HAI) utilizes state-of-the-art hardware and software in the monitoring of power lines, wildlife surveys, vegetation surveys, forest health assessments, substations, and roof surveys. Coupled with our gyro-stabilized sensor system mounted on a helicopter, HAI can offer accurate results in a timely manner, saving the consumer time and money.

HAI currently operates three camera systems consisting of the Kelvin 350 II Radiometric Infrared Camera System, Pixel 275 II Three Chip Digital Camera, and AISA Eagle 1K Hyperspectral Sensor.

Our assorted technologies are applicable for various avenues. IR surveys can detect anomalies in transmissions lines, helping to prevent an outage.  Wildlife surveys can be conducted to assist with forest management. Also assisting in management for hyperspectral surveys for regeneration or health analysis.  IR results are  processed  using the FLIR ThermaCam Reporter software. Hyperspectral results are presented in a GIS format.

The Pixel 275 II is ideal for electronic news gathering, mapping and documentation, and many other airborne applications. The system includes a 12 X optical zoom, digital video recording, and GPS interface and video overlay.

The Kelvin 350 II provides a temperature measurement of an object through a sensor which measures energy emitted from an object. The heat signature is converted into a digital temperature readout. The warmer the object is, the brighter the object will appear on the readout.

The AISA Eagle 1K Hyperspectral Camera System is used for identifying and mapping objects through spectroscopic remote sensing. The AISA Eagle 1K data is processed using specialized hyperspectral software systems.
