Imaging Sensors and Data Collection  The telemetry section of UAVM.com explores the topic of telemetry in greater detail. Data collection and imaging to date has for the most part been limited to detectors measuring radiation over wavelengths in the visual and near and far infra red ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. The most common instrument packages are  various iterations on the miniature electro optical or video camera or digital and film cameras of varying resolution and sophistication. Researchers at Brigham Young University report on some of the problems associated with the transmission of video data from small UAVs. As UAV payloads become more refined is is easy to envision the use of miniaturized spectraphotometers, spectrometers, and other data collection, imaging and sensor technologies for applications such as environmental sampling, NBC/CBR defence and attack warning, industrial emission monioring, HAZMAT operations. The Cognitive Engineering Research Institute has published abstracts in the areas of human factors and sensor miniturization research for UAVs.
