Optical Sensor Design, Build, Characterisation, Calibration and Integration

maitec designs and builds optical sensors for on-ground and air-borne deployment. Besides its own sensors maitec also integrates sensors from other manufacturers into aerial platforms. Integration involves mechanical and electrical interfacing with the platform.

Successful utilisation of optical sensors requires accurate calibration. maitec first characterises sensors. This sensor characterisation forms the basis for the development of calibration protocols. Sensor calibration is then undertaken using maitec's precision calibration infrastructure.

Sometimes characterisation highlights the need to modify a sensor. maitec implements and thoroughly tests these modifications before calibrating the sensor.
