MicaSense Systems

At FSF we have two MicaSense systems - the Altum and the RedEdge-M. Both are multispectral cameras, and are fully intergrated on our UAV systems.

MicaSense Altum

MicaSense Altum

Features

Synchronized capture of multispectral, thermal, and highresolution imagery. Calibrated thermal and multispectral outputs. High resolution multispectral images. Integrated GPS, with downwelling light sensor (DLS 2).

Center Wavelengths

Blue 475 nm, Green 560 nm, Red 668 nm, Red edge 717 nm, Near infrared 840 nm, and Thermal 11 µm.

Example Applications

  • precision agriculture
  • DSMs
  • biomass mapping
  • Vegetation health conditions
  • detection of typology of soil
  • Thermal heat map
  • Water Stress
  • Micasense RedEdge-M
