MUSES9-DR Hyperspectral Drone Camera

The MUSES9-DR is a lightweight, drone-compatible hyperspectral camera capturing up to 24 spectral images at 4K resolution across 400–1000 nm, delivering real-time spectral mapping and vegetation indices for advanced remote sensing applications.​

Overview

MUSES9-DR – Product Overview


The MUSES9-DR is a cutting-edge drone-mounted hyperspectral imaging camera developed by Spectricon, designed to revolutionize remote sensing applications. Operating across the 400–1000 nm spectral range, it captures up to 24 spectral images at 4K spatial resolution in real-time, providing unparalleled detail and accuracy.


Traditional snapshot spectral imagers often face a trade-off between spectral and spatial resolution, typically offering limited spatial detail due to the use of multiband mosaic filter arrays. The MUSES9-DR overcomes this limitation by employing an innovative technology that combines real-time acquisition of high-resolution spectral images with an AI-based spectral estimation technique. This approach constructs a full hyperspectral cube without compromising either spectral or spatial resolution.


The system supports real-time supervised and unsupervised spectral classification, displaying spectral maps and vegetation index (VI) maps side-by-side at video rates. Its compact and lightweight design (weighing only 310 g) makes it ideal for integration with various airborne platforms, facilitating efficient data collection over large areas.


With its advanced capabilities, the MUSES9-DR is perfectly suited for applications in precision agriculture, plant pathology, mineralogy, environmental monitoring, and more, providing users with immediate, high-quality spectral data for informed decision-making.​
