Spectral
Evolution
introduces
the new remote sensing leaf clip
and ILM-105 light source. Ideal for
scanning vegetation samples in the
lab or field with one of our portable
spectroradiometers.
The Spectral Evolution leaf clip and
ILM-105 light source are designed to provide a streamlined
and effective approach to scanning vegetation (leaves, pine
needles, etc.) when used with a Spectral Evolution field
portable spectroradiometer.
The leaf clip is easy to use and the ILM-105 light source
has been completely re-designed and streamlined for field
use. It is mounted to your spectroradiometer by a rail and
connected to the leaf clip by a power cable and rugged metal-
clad fiber optic cable. The ILM-105 has a toggle switch for
low/high intensity settings, so you control the light source.
It keeps the heat away from your sample so it remains
unharmed.
The leaf clip and ILM-105 can be used with the PSR+ and
RS-3500 field spectroradiometers. For more information on

Esri
®
ArcMap add-in
that creates accurate and precise raster datasets. Designed
to work seamlessly within ArcMap, Raster Tools provides
extensive interpolation methods and control over all
interpolation parameters.
Raster Tools offers twelve deterministic and geostatistical
interpolation methods. These methods include Kriging,
Radial Basis Function, Minimum Curvature, Inverse
Distance, Modified Shepard’s Method, Natural Neighbor,
Nearest Neighbor, Polynomial Regression, Local Polynomial,
Triangulation, Moving Average, and Data Metrics.
Raster Tools also features extensive controls over
interpolation parameters to ensure data is accurately
represented. These parameters include search controls
to determine which data points are considered during the
interpolation operation, the ability to use breaklines and
faults during the interpolation calculation, and anisotropy
settings to apply preferential weighting along a specified
direction.
Raster Tools operates as an add-in to Esri® ArcMap 10.3.

The Eclipse is the first airborne collection system that
tightly integrates both passive and active
imaging sensors with fully autonomous
data collection on low-cost platforms.
Designed specifically for efficiency
in smaller project areas and corridor
applications, the Eclipse combines an
innovative sensor motion detection
system with an eye-safe, high-performance 1.5-micron laser
and a high-resolution imaging system for the automatic
collection of high-fidelity lidar data and camera imagery,
completely eliminating the need for a system operator and
operator interface.
Capable of collecting 4-25 pts/m2 from a rapidly-moving
aircraft, the Eclipse incorporates a rotating polygon scanner
and a fully electronic camera and shutter system for high
productivity with maximum reliability. Lidar and image
data are simultaneously written to a single removable SSD
data cartridge and processed in Teledyne Optech’s popular
a full-featured lidar and image
processing workflow that includes rigorous least-squares
lidar calibration methods, photogrammetric bundle block
adjustment, inertial boresight capability and intensive
accuracy quantification. Boasting Teledyne Optech’s
industry-leading measurement precision for exceptional
data quality, the Eclipse enables high-precision surveying
with an integrated Applanix OEM POS AV system.
First shipments of the Eclipse are planned in Q3, 2016.

is pleased to announce that it unveiled
a new solution for autonomous 3D mapping at the
expo and conference in The Woodlands, TX, in April.
The conference also saw the latest updates to the Optech
Lynx mobile survey system, and heard presentations on
how Teledyne Optech products are being applied to survey
problems and applications in innovative ways.
Visitors to the Teledyne Optech booth saw the latest
upgrades to the
and learn which model will
best suit their needs. All models of the Lynx now feature
real-time LAS file generation, allowing surveyors to check
their survey data immediately after collection and provide
preliminary data to clients. Meanwhile, the Lynx SG and
SG-S have both been updated to 300 scan lines per second
for each sensor. This upgrade is crucial for achieving uniform
point distribution when surveying at high speeds and firing
at the maximum laser pulse repetition frequency.
