The reasons are that in the past, sensor systems covering the SWIR range were too expensive, too heavy, or not performing well enough, as, in contrast, it is the case in the visible and near-infrared range (VNIR). Therefore, our main objective is the development of a novel modular two-channel multispectral imaging system with a broad spectral sensitivity from the visible to the short-wave infrared spectrum (approx. 400 nm to 1700 nm) that is compact, lightweight and energy-efficient enough for UAV-based remote sensing applications. Various established vegetation indices (VIs) for mapping vegetation traits can then be set up by selecting any suitable filter combination. The study describes the selection of the individual components, starting with suitable camera modules, the optical as well as the control and storage parts. Special bandpass filters are used to select the desired wavelengths to be captured. A unique flange system has been developed, which also allows the filters to be interchanged quickly in order to adapt the system to a new application in a short time. The characterization of the system was performed in the laboratory with an integrating sphere and a climatic chamber. Finally, the integration of the novel modular VNIR\/SWIR imaging system into a UAV and a subsequent first outdoor test flight, in which the functionality was tested, are described.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19245507","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,13]],"date-time":"2019-12-13T11:27:22Z","timestamp":1576236442000},"page":"5507","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Development of a VNIR\/SWIR Multispectral Imaging System for Vegetation Monitoring with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1890-4839","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander","family":"Jenal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Application Center for Machine Learning and Sensor Technology, University of Applied Science Koblenz, 53424 Remagen, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Geography, GIS &amp; RS Group, University of Cologne, 50923 Cologne, Germany"}]},{"given":"Georg","family":"Bareth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geography, GIS &amp; RS Group, University of Cologne, 50923 Cologne, Germany"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Bolten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geography, GIS &amp; RS Group, University of Cologne, 50923 Cologne, Germany"}]},{"given":"Caspar","family":"Kneer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Application Center for Machine Learning and Sensor Technology, University of Applied Science Koblenz, 53424 Remagen, Germany"}]},{"given":"Immanuel","family":"Weber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Application Center for Machine Learning and Sensor Technology, University of Applied Science Koblenz, 53424 Remagen, Germany"}]},{"given":"Jens","family":"Bongartz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Application Center for Machine Learning and Sensor Technology, University of Applied Science Koblenz, 53424 Remagen, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"245","DOI":"10.1016\/j.isprsjprs.2015.08.002","article-title":"Generating 3D hyperspectral information with lightweight UAV snapshot cameras for vegetation monitoring: From camera calibration to quality assurance","volume":"108","author":"Aasen","year":"2015","journal-title":"ISPRS J.
