Infrared

Color Infrared (CIR) Imagery Aerial imagery, whether it is panchromatic (gray scale), color, or color infrared (CIR) imagery, is based on the fact that each type of land cover, depending of its current condition, absorbs a particular portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, transmits another portion, and reflects the remaining portion, which can be recorded with a passive imaging system. In particular, most objects exhibit a negligible NIR reflectance, but actively growing plants exhibit a high NIR reflectance and stressed plants (either from disease or drought) exhibit a reduction in their NIR reflectance. In addition, there are subtle NIR reflectance differences between vegetation types and species that can aid in plant identification.

Color Infrared aerial photography 


Color Infrared aerial photography can not only be used to document changes to the environment, the health of forests, wetlands, bays and oceans, but also to document and monitor such items as damage to roofs, the tracking of dairy farm out flows, pinpointing the source of, and monitoring, insect or disease infested vineyards, or sites contaminated by toxic chemicals, and more other applications.


Infrared film and infrared digital sensors are sensitive to a certain portion of the spectrum of light, and by careful filtration, processing and selection of films, infrared aerials can provide invaluable information. Please contact us to get additional information about color infrared aerial photography.


Most infrared aerial documentation involves the creation of vertical infrared aerials. Combined with orthorecitification techiques, comprehensive infrared aerial maps can be created which can be invaluable both for planning and monitoring purposes.
