Unlock Advanced Aerial Insights with the MicaSense RedEdge-P Dual
The MicaSense RedEdge-P Dual is an advanced aerial imaging solution designed for diverse applications, including vegetation classification, weed identification, environmental research, conservation, and aquatic plant analysis.
This dual-sensor setup combines the proven RedEdge-P camera with the innovative RedEdge-P Blue camera, delivering high-resolution multispectral and RGB imaging capabilities. Key features include:
10 Multispectral Bands
- Covers and enhances the spectral resolution of Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 satellite bands, offering unparalleled data quality.
Panchromatic Band for High Resolution
- Achieves a ground sample distance (GSD) of 2 cm (0.8 in) per pixel at 60 meters (200 feet) altitude.
- Provides clear, detailed imagery for early issue detection, enabling informed decision-making.
Coastal Blue Band
- Ideal for analyzing water vegetation and identifying weeds in shallow aquatic environments.
Narrow Spectral Bands
- Detect subtle variations in plant health, ensuring more accurate and detailed data capture.
Double Calibration for Precision
- Includes a Downwelling Light Sensor (DLS) and Calibrated Reflectance Panel (CRP) for accurate data collection across different lighting conditions.
- Supports reliable time-series analysis and consistent output comparisons.
Global Shutter for Distortion-Free Imagery
- Maintains image integrity across all ten lenses, even in high-vibration conditions.
High-Speed Imaging
- Captures up to 3 images per second with a 128 GB CFexpress card for efficient data management and fast turnaround.
Synchronized Data Capture
- Simultaneously captures data across all bands, with automated triggers and geotagging for streamlined workflows.
Optimized Workflow Efficiency
- Consolidates two cameras into a unified workflow for maximum efficiency.
- Integrates seamlessly with flight planning and post-processing software, including Measure Ground Control, via an open API interface.
Additional Benefits
- Satellite Data Correlation: Matches Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 spectral coverage while offering enhanced spatial resolution (2 cm vs. 10 m per pixel).
- AI Applications: Enables advanced machine learning tasks like early-stage crop counting with high-resolution RGB and multispectral imagery.
- Comprehensive Outputs: Generates multiple indexes, including NDVI, NDRE, OSAVI, NIT, CIR, DSM, and more, revealing insights invisible to the naked eye.
Manufactured in the U.S. under NDAA compliance, the RedEdge-P Dual sensors have been trusted by academic, private, and government organizations worldwide since 2014.
