Setting You Up for Success

Hyperspectral airborne drone, ground-based, or scanning-kit training is fundamental to success when it comes to utilizing an integrated imaging solution from Headwall.

In-person training is held twice each month at our headquarters for customers who have purchased a Headwall turnkey or system-level solution. These training sessions are focused on hands-on experience in a small-group learning environment. Headwall provides the industry's most in-depth training curriculum. We cover all the need-to-know topics and follow up with an overview of Headwall's powerful post-processing software.

Recorded material and documentation for remote learning are available if you cannot attend our training sessions at our headquarters in person or simply need a refresher! See our YouTube Channel or contact us for alternate video links.

Hyperspectral Basics

Each training session starts with the fundamentals of hyperspectral imaging...what it is, how it works, and some of the applications that are ideally suited for this technology.

  • Basics of hyperspectral imaging
  • How our sensors work
  • Scanning operations
  • Airborne data collection considerations
  • Data processing and analysis techniques

Flight Planning

We'll show you how to properly get your airborne solution ready for flight. You'll learn how to calibrate your sensor, get the GPS/IMU set up, setting the white balance, and much more.

  • Flight planning and setup for data collection
  • Flight planning software
  • Hyperspec software and sensor setup

Flying the Mission

Here, we'll show you all aspects of flying your UAV...from start-up steps through data-collection and landing. Everything you'll learn is focused both on data accuracy and safe flying practices.

Post-Flight & Data Processing

Collecting hyperspectral data is a hardware-driven exercise, but data interpretation and exploitation is a function of powerful software you'll learn how to use. From orthorectification to creating mosaic data cubes, Headwall provides the knowledge you need.

  • Viewing images and spectral data
  • Single and batch radiometric correction
  • Single and batch reflectance conversion
  • Single and batch ortho-rectification

Scanning in the Lab or in the Field

A key component of remote sensing is obtaining ground-truth data. We'll show you how Headwall systems can capture hyperspectral data in the field or in the lab.
