tightConverge, flexiblePowerful functionality, never give up
MicaSense RedEdge-MXSpecially developed for agricultural remote sensing, it can simultaneously capture five spectral bands, is sturdy and durable, and is a relatively flexible sensor on the market.
Main features:
l Expose once and obtain 5 single band images simultaneously;
l Global shutter can eliminate image distortion on various platforms;
l The integration of light sensor DLS and GPS forms a new generation of DLS 2, improving integration and radiation measurement accuracy;
l All photos and data are stored on one memory card for easy data transfer;
l Intuitive web-based interface that can be operated from any Wi Fi enabled device;
l Independent operation, with optional external switches and data transmission from the drone;
l There are easily combinable mounting points that can be integrated with various types of drones.
Application areas:
l Crop phenotype and precision agriculture
l Monitoring of crop growth and agricultural conditions
l Monitoring and evaluation of agricultural disaster stress
l Ecological environment investigation and monitoring
l Soil erosion monitoring and evaluation
l Geographic Information System
Choosing the right tool can achieve twice the result with half the effort
RedEdge-MXCompact design that can be integrated with both rotary wing and fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles. In one flight, RedEdge MX can generate RGB images, vegetation cover indices (such as NDVI), and other vegetation indices. The calibration reflector is calibrated to obtain more accurate spectral information.
Although RedEdge MX technology is higher and has powerful scientific performance, it does not mean that it is complex and can be easily integrated with a variety of drones.
l Five band sensors
l SDCard storage
l Detachable Wi Fi
l DLS 2 with built-in GPS
l Calibration reflector
Main advantages:
l Aluminum body, high temperature resistance, stronger performance;
l Compact design, compact body, capable of being combined with various drones;
l After calibration, the reflective plate can obtain more accurate spectral data;
l Wide voltage range, convenient for integration with multiple drones without the need for additional voltage conversion;
l Various analytical software can be used to process raw data.
Through one flight, RedEdge MX can generate RGB images, vegetation indices, and digital surface models, thereby helping researchers obtain depth information.
RedEdge-MXMultispectral sensors have higher spectral resolution
MicaSense RedEdge-MXMeasuring the reflected light in five different spectral bands (red, green, blue, red edge, and near-infrared) has stronger sensitivity and enhances the feasibility of overall monitoring of crop growth changes.
