HAMCAM Project 

 Introduction  

 Technical Specifications 

Example Imagery


Hyperspectral and Multispectral Cameras for Airborne Mapping (HAMCAM)


The HAMCAM is a robust aerial hyperspectral and multispectral image data acquisition system which is used in conjunction with a light aircraft platform. The system was developed in the Remote Sensing & Spatial Ecology Research Lab at the University of Idaho, and has been operational for use since the summer of 2005. The system’s HAMCAM software runs on a custom-built airborne computer, which integrates different hardware and software components to control the cameras for capturing hyperspectral, multispectral, and inertial navigation data. The collaborators for this project include the following entities: USDI Bureau of Land Management, University of Montana, University of Idaho and the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit.
