Sensaprobe Probe with Built-In Camera

Your hyperspectral data, right on target

The Sensaprobe with built-in camera is an accessory designed for use with Spectral Evolution NaturaSpec and RS-3500 spectroradiometers. It is intended for remote sensing applications that require precise, real-time spectral measurements paired with critical contextual metadata to ensure repeatability, confidence, and clarity in results.

During each scan, the Sensaprobe records far more than spectral signatures. It automatically captures target distance, probe tilt angle, solar elevation angle, GPS coordinates, and a visual image of the sample, creating a complete and well-documented dataset for analysis and reporting.

Real-time control and visual targeting

Spectral Evolution spectroradiometers communicate seamlessly with the Sensaprobe via Bluetooth, allowing users to operate the system through a tablet mounted directly to the probe. A mobile-optimized version of DARWin data acquisition software displays spectral data in real time while also providing a live video feed from the built-in camera for real-time targeting.

This allows users to clearly see the field of view and confirm the exact target boundaries before capturing a scan.

Key features for advanced fieldwork

• Quick-release fiber optic mount.
• Built-in inclinometer that measures tilt angle and tags each scan with precise orientation data.
• Integrated camera with live video feed and automatic image capture.
• Laser range sensor for accurate target range measurement and field-of-view calculation.
• Trigger-activated scanning for ease of use in the field.
• Tablet mounting bracket for streamlined operation and real-time target and scan viewing.

Advanced measurement intelligence

The Sensaprobe is a sophisticated accessory engineered to deliver data streams not available with other systems. Its advanced feature set includes automatic image capture, laser guidance for precise aiming, absolute and relative position reporting, live distance sensing, and integrated reference and target triggering.

Adjustable positioning, ergonomic design, and durable construction with built-in strain relief and cable management help extend the life of the accessory while ensuring comfort during extended fieldwork.

The integrated camera provides continuous visual feedback for accurate scan alignment and automatically documents each target for improved traceability and presentation. At the same time, the distance sensor supplies live range data that supports scan repeatability, field-of-view calculations, and comparative analysis, while the laser acts as a clear visual aiming guide.

Confidence in every scan

The Sensaprobe is designed to help ensure that every remote sensing measurement meets research requirements. As each scan is performed, it provides immediate confirmation of nadir position, solar angle, GPS location, and an image of the scanned area so the operator can confidently capture the exact data needed.

With its integrated tilt-angle sensor, auto-rangefinder, camera, comfortable grip, scan trigger, and tripod compatibility, the Sensaprobe transforms hyperspectral field measurements into a more precise, repeatable, and fully documented workflow.
