Key features
Imaging payloads built for capture from a moving aircraft, where resolution alone is not enough.
Very high resolution
The 65R packs a 65 megapixel sensor, delivering a 0.45 cm ground sampling distance at 125 feet, which is the detail level that makes individual plants and small defects legible.
Global shutter
The whole frame is exposed at once, so fast forward motion does not skew the image. That is what keeps a high-resolution orthomosaic geometrically sound.
Built for photogrammetry
Output is intended to be processed into orthomosaics and 3D models rather than viewed as photographs.
Platform integration
Supported as a payload option on the fixed-wing and multirotor platforms AECA supplies.

Ground sampling distance varies with altitude. The figure below is the published value at 125 feet.
Use cases
Crop scouting
Detail fine enough to assess individual plants across a block, instead of averaging a field into a colour.
High-detail orthomosaics
Base mapping where small features, markings and edges have to survive into the final product.
Structural and surface detail
Capture of surfaces and structures where a defect is only a few centimetres across.
Stand and gap detection
Imagery clean enough for automated counting and gap detection to run reliably over it.
