Key features
What separates a calibrated multispectral sensor from a modified colour camera.
Discrete spectral bands
Separate bands, including red edge and near infrared, captured as distinct measurements rather than inferred from a single colour image.
Calibrated reflectance
A reflectance panel and an incident light sensor let readings be compared between flights and between dates, which is what makes trend analysis meaningful.
Analysis-ready output
Imagery processes into vegetation index layers that drop into agronomy and GIS workflows without bespoke handling.
Platform integration
Supported as a hot-swappable payload on the fixed-wing and multirotor platforms AECA supplies.
Technical specifications
Band count, resolution and capture rate differ across the range.
Full specifications on request MicaSense produce several sensors with different band sets, resolutions and capture rates, and the right one depends on crop, altitude and the index you need. AECA supplies current manufacturer documentation and a recommendation matched to your programme.
Use cases
Canopy health indexing
Vegetation indices across plantation blocks, to find stress before it is visible from the ground.
Variable rate prescription
Index layers converted into zoned application maps, so inputs go where the measurement says they are needed.
Research and trial plots
Repeatable, calibrated measurement across treatment blocks, where consistency between dates matters more than image quality.
Land cover and environment
Vegetation classification and change detection over reserves, buffer zones and rehabilitated ground.
