The Spectral Resolution of the 6X Series Sensors
The multispectral imagers of the 6X Series Sensors measure the light reflected in different narrow spectral bands used for identifying variations in vegetation conditions. The 6X RGB imager measures visible light reflected across the red, green, and blue wavelengths and is useful for general observation such as plant counting or monitoring crop growth stages.
One Sensor. One Flight.
The Value of Image Synchronization and Alignment
Â
Seamless Data Layers
Vegetation Health, Thermal, Elevation, and RGB Mosaics are easily overlaid with each other from their independent data layers allowing for seamless analysis between layers and their respective features.Â
