AisaFENIX 384 swath width vs. AisaFENIX 1k swatch width

AisaFENIX Models: 384 px and 1K (1024 px) Spatial Resolution

The Specim AisaFENIX is available in two models:

The AisaFENIX 384 offers a compact, lightweight solution with a 384-pixel spatial swath, providing high-quality hyperspectral data while keeping payload size and power consumption to a minimum. This model is well-suited for medium to heavy lift UAVs and smaller aircraft where weight, power, and cost efficiency are critical.

For applications requiring maximum spatial detail and broader coverage, the AisaFENIX 1K delivers a full 1024-pixel spatial resolution, enabling finer ground sampling distances, improved mapping accuracy, and wider area capture per flight line. This higher-resolution model takes productivity of hyperspectral imaging to a new level, reducing flight costs by 60% due to fewer flight lines, or collecting data with higher accuracy when flying at the same height.

Both systems provide the same exceptional spectral performance, collecting quality airborne data across the full VNIR-SWIR range, delivering the optimal balance between performance and efficiency.

Specim AisaFENIX Key Benefits:

Contiguous VNIR-SWIR spectral range from 380-2500 nm
Readily co-registered data with single common fore optic
Supports interfacing with most popular GNSS/IMU systems
Significant reduction of flight time with high spatial resolution model
