Multispectral
Altum-PT
The Altum-PT is ideal for projects needing high spatial resolution multispectral data, or a combination of multispectral and thermal analysis. It captures sub-leaf spatial resolution by using its panchromatic imager to up-sample multispectral data. This makes the Altum-PT the top choice for those requiring extreme detail of plant canopies or the delineation and analysis of very small plants. Plus, its integrated thermal imager is perfect for applications like irrigation and water stress detection.
RedEdge-P
The RedEdge-P is an all-around go-to for plant-canopy analysis. Widely considered the best drone-based multispectral sensor available, it's used across agricultural research, environmental conservation, and production agriculture. Through pan-sharpening, it delivers five spectral bands with sufficient detail for most vegetation analysis.
RedEdge-P Dual
This dual camera system delivers 10 unique spectral bandsacross the visible and near-infrared spectrum. This enables the collection of detailed spectral profiles, ideal for vegetation and landcover classification using machine learning. The variety of bands also allows for the discovery of unique indices or composites for diverse research applications. The RedEdge-P Dual is often considered an optimal balance between multispectral and hyperspectral data for vegetation research.
Thermal
Gremsy Vio F1
The Gremsy VIO system, mounted on the SkyScout multirotor drone, efficiently collects both thermal and RGB data. It's an excellent, user-friendly solution for gathering thermal information, making it a popular choice for most thermal-related projects, including water stress and irrigation research.
Wiris Pro
The Wiris Pro is an excellent tool for research requiring the detection of subtle temperature variability, thanks to its high thermal sensitivity. The sensor also has an extended scene temperature range enabling capture of values of colder and hotter objects. The Wiris Pro includes an RGB sensor, enabling comprehensive RGB + thermal data collection.
RGB
Sony ILX-LR1
The Sony ILX-LR1 features a 61MP sensor, delivering exceptional image quality for detailed analysis. This high-resolution capability makes it an ideal tool for generating precise datasets needed for deep learning applications, such as the detection and counting of individual plants, specific plant features, or other critical elements within the broader landscape. The Sony ILX-LR1 is plug-and-play with the WISPR SkyScout.
RGB61
The Wingtra RGB61 is a high-resolution RGB camera payload designed for the WingtraOne VTOL drone. Featuring a 61MP sensor, it efficiently captures detailed imagery across large areas. This image quality provides the rich, granular data essential for training and applying deep learning models, enabling precise detection and counting of individual plants, plant features, or other critical elements across large areas.
