MicaSense RedEdge-P Green Multispectral Kit

MicaSense RedEdge-P Green Multispectral Kit: pigment-focused multispectral imaging for advanced vegetation analysis

The MicaSense RedEdge-P Green Multispectral Kit is designed for agronomy, ecology, and research teams requiring deeper insight into plant physiology beyond standard vegetation indices. As a standalone multispectral sensor, it captures five pigment-sensitive spectral bands using global shutter imaging to reduce motion distortion during mapping flights.

This configuration supports indices used for carotenoid and anthocyanin analysis, enabling refined assessment of plant stress and maturity. Built within the modular RedEdge-P camera ecosystem, the RedEdge-P Green can operate independently or scale into higher-band configurations when paired with compatible RedEdge-P family cameras.

Five-band multispectral system overview

• Five pigment-sensitive spectral bands support advanced physiological vegetation analysis
• Cyan and yellow bands improve sensitivity to pigment-based vegetation indices
• Global shutter imaging reduces motion distortion during aerial mapping operations
• Panchromatic band enables pan-sharpening with appropriate post-processing workflows
• RGB output aligned with multispectral bands supports contextual mapping deliverables
• Raw DNG capture preserves radiometric fidelity for analytical processing pipelines
• Capture rates up to three frames per second improve survey efficiency
• Expandable architecture supports dual or triple camera configurations

High-fidelity vegetation insights with narrowband spectral capture

The RedEdge-P Green sensor captures five narrow multispectral bands—cyan, green, yellow, red, and near-infrared—enabling detailed analysis of vegetation health, growth stress, and chlorophyll activity. Its global shutter RGB, 5.1 MP panchromatic channel, and pan-sharpening capabilities deliver up to 2 cm spatial resolution after post-processing, providing imagery far sharper than satellite sources.

With up to three raw DNG captures per second and synchronized data logging through the DLS light sensor and CRP panel, the system maintains radiometric consistency in variable lighting conditions.

Designed for field-ready deployment and scientific reliability

Engineered for demanding field campaigns, the RedEdge-P Green offers seamless integration with DJI’s Matrice airframes via SkyPort, allowing stable power delivery and reliable triggering. The CFexpress storage system supports high-speed data handling, while the included DLS2 and calibration panel ensure repeatable reflectance measurements for time-series analysis.

Its IP4X housing, narrowband accuracy, and configurable workflows make it ideal for multi-season crop monitoring, environmental assessment, and precision agriculture tasks requiring robust scientific repeatability.
