Meet the Micasense Altum multispectral camera!
The MicaSense Altum captures six bands – red, green, blue, red edge, near-infrared and thermal. The capture of these bands happens at the same moment, making the data easier to align and use for analytics. Also, because there are six bands, data from Altum can be used to create anything from NDVI to digital surface models to thermal heat maps.
Main features of the Micasense Altum camera
Calibrated thermal sensors
Capture aligned multispectral and thermal imagery in one flight using only one sensor.
Hi-res multispectral images
Improved resolution means more accurate digital surface models, easier stitching at lower altitudes, and better plant classification and plant counting.
Hi-res RGB
Five high-resolution lenses mean you get detailed plant health imagery (5.2 cm GSD) and detailed Digital Surface Models all from 400 ft.
