PAYLOADS FOR MULTISpECTRAL IMAGING
Agri-technology is advancing at a rapid pace, and multispectral systems are at the forefront of the latest innovations. When integrated with DJI drones, our range of multispectral cameras create robust, easy-to-fly platforms designed for precision agriculture applications.
PHANTOM 4 MULTISPECTRAL
P4 Multispectral has the promise to transform the agriculture and land management industries by collecting precise plant-level data without having to send personnel into the field for manual surveys. By combining multispectral imaging into a trusted, efficient and affordable tool, DJI is making this transformative technology more accessible to New Zealanders who are pioneering the adoption of drones in their in their farms lands.
Ferntech Commercial Solutions drone specialist Luke Johnson visited Nelson to join Jonathan Lopardo from DroneMate to conduct a case study on the Phantom 4 Multispectral. The study resulted in developing a significant guide when determining the best tool to use when trying to gain actionable agricultural insights. Follow the story in our News section to learn more.
MICASENSE ALTUM-PT
Designed to capture data on plant health, phenotype, and water stress in a single flight, Micasense Altum-PT seamlessly integrates a ultra-high-resolution panchromatic imager, a new thermal imager that provides twice the ground resolution of the previous Altum, and five discrete spectral bands, allowing plant-level applications such as early-stage stand counting. Altum-PT also features a global shutter for distortion-free results, open APIs, and a new storage device allowing for up to 2 captures/second.
New professional removable storage standard in CFexpress, enabling over two captures per second, immediate turnaround time between flights by swapping cards, and super-fast card-to-computer upload speeds for more efficient data management.
Altum-PT features an ultra-high resolution panchromatic sensor which allows for “pan-sharpening” the multispectral imagery, ultimately increasing the spatial resolution of the multispectral data: 1.2 cm (0.47in) pan-sharpened ground resolution when flying at 60m (200ft). It also features a built-in 320 x 256 FLIR Boson® that enables thermal maps at twice the ground resolution of Altum - 17cm from 60m flight altitude.
Altum-PT is compatible with the DJI PSDK, allowing for full integration with compatible DJI drones.
MicaSense RedEdge-P
The RedEdge-P is the rugged, high-quality, powerful multispectral sensor you’ve come to trust, now with a high-resolution panchromatic band for pan-sharpened output resolutions of 2cm (at 60m) - twice the ground resolution of the industry-standard RedEdge-MX. It is a single camera solution that captures calibrated high-resolution multispectral and RGB imagery, with an optimized FOV and capture rate for efficient flights.
This solution seamlessly integrates a high-resolution all-color imager with synchronized multispectral imagers to enable pixel-aligned outputs at previously unattainable resolutions while maintaining the efficiency and reliability of the RedEdge legacy. Raw data from RedEdge-P is open for processing using the standard household softwares in the industry.
MicaSense RedEdge-MX Dual Camera System
Integrating onto the DJI Matrice 300 RTK drone, the MicaSense RedEdge-MX Dual Camera System uses two five-band cameras, the RedEdge-MX and the new RedEdge-MX Blue, this solution enables the most advanced remote sensing and vegetation research applications.
