Remote sensing and GIS-based methods using technology from Overwatch Imaging has been used to address key questions about the stability of subtidal kelp beds across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Read more >>
Overwatch Imaging smart sensors capture imagery across multiple spectral bands simultaneously (including RGB, NIR, SWIR, LWIR and MWIR) in a co-boresighted array with a dual-antenna Global Positioning System (GPS) inertial navigation system.
In this clip, the operator toggles between spectral bands in real-time as the aircraft flies over an offshore kelp bed. The system’s NDVI output proves particularly effective for highlighting the vegetation and macro algae of the kelp bed.
The company is pleased to share some detailed and extensive technical papers here, published in the Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology for those interested in remote sensing and geospatial technologies.
