Grants and Contributions:
Title:
Novel technology to increase the spatial resolution of WaterSat hyper-spectral imaging by 10 times and simulated flight to validate the spatial and spectral fidelity
Agreement Number:
19FANBA36
Agreement Value:
$300,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 20, 2020 - Mar 31, 2025
Description:
Hyperspectral remote sensing is important for effectively monitoring the fast changing natural environment caused by natural and human factors.
The project aims at demonstrating the potential of an innovative technology that can increase the spatial resolution of the future Canadian WaterSat hyper-spectral mission, thus increasing detection of smaller features on the Earth surface. Successful results can significantly extend its application scope, from water-based applications to water and land applications. It will help Canadian government and industry improve their efficiency and accuracy in environmental monitoring, helping meet national needs for informed decision making, including climate change research and policy making.
