SETHI flying lab : A tool for remote sensing applications

This paper presents the new-generation test bench SETHI, developed by ONERA, the French Aerospace Lab. SETHI is a medium range platform dedicated to environmental, scientific and security applications. This paper presents the system architecture, the development state and the future capabilities planned. Before concluding, this paper displays a set of recent significant results covering three major applications : high spatial resolution image, change detection between two acquisitions, bio mass measurement in the tropical forest.
