ITRES Research Limited is a private Canadian corporation headquartered in Calgary, Alberta which has provided high-quality airborne electro-optical instruments for the scientific and remote sensing communities since 1979. ITRES conducts research and development in applications using imaging detectors for camera systems that operate in visible light, ultraviolet, near infrared, shortwave infrared, and thermal spectral ranges. In addition, the company has developed significant expertise in the successful commercial development of applications and useful products using these optical imaging technologies, as well as in conducting large-scale domestic and international acquisition programs.
Involvement in the development of both precision instruments and
their commercial applications has fostered a unique, creative,
and dynamic environment at ITRES that has allowed the company to
realize benefits not enjoyed by competitors. At times instrument development activities have driven the development of applications; at other times, the commercial technology applications have driven improvements to the instruments.
On the instrument side of their activities, ITRES designs and
manufactures a suite of complementary optical remote sensing instruments. Their flagship product is the CASI-1500 (Compact
Airborne Spectrographic Imager). Using a 1500 pixel-wide CCD array, this is an all-digital, user-programmable, hyperspectral imaging spectrograph, sensitive to visible and near-infrared wavelengths (380-1050nm). Easily installed in light aircraft, it produces orthorectified and radiometrically calibrated continuous strip images or mosaics.
The CASI-1500 augments the CASI-550 instrument, which uses a 550 pixel-wide CCD array. Distinguished by its precision, flexibility, and low cost, the CASI-550 had been sold and utilized worldwide. To date, 41 CASI instruments of various models have been sold.
ITRES also manufactures complementary pushbroom imaging instruments sensitive to Shortwave Infrared and Thermal Infrared wavelengths. These include: - A 100 channel hyperspectral shortwave infrared camera, the SASI (Shortwave Infrared Spectrographic Imager) sensitive to wavelengths between 850 and 2450 nm;
- A microbolometer-based, broadband thermal instrument, the TABI (Thermal Airborne Broadband Imager) sensitive to wavelengths between 8000 and 12000 nm; and
- A hyperspectral thermal instrument, the 64-channel TASI (Thermal Airborne Spectrographic Imager), sensitive to wavelengths between 8000 to 11500 nm.
With these instruments, ITRES is able to provide airborne imaging systems that provide more complete coverage between the visible and thermal wavelength regions. Data from all instruments may be
integrated with data from other technologies, such as Lidar and
Ifsar.
Regarding its commercial application activities, ITRES has successfully developed useful data information products for military, environmental, and resource management applications. These
include targets over water (submerged and emergent wetland
vegetation mapping, algae detection, chlorophyll concentration,
turbidity mapping) and land (forestry, habitat classification, agriculture, invasive weed mapping).
