Micasense RedEdge-Mx

AGRICULTURE CAMERA FOR DRONES

Flir Vue Pro drone thermal camera, the smallest and most compact thermal camera designed for drones on the market today. Remote control and live video output + dedicated configuration app.

Calibrated narrow bands

Five narrow high resolution (8 cm/pixel at 400 ft) spectral bands captured during one flight. Calibrated for precise, repeatable measurements.

Rugged and durable

New aluminum body for better durability and performance in higher temperatures. Global shutter imagers - no gimbal required and no moving parts.

Full flexibility

Compact size allows for integration with a wide variety of drones. Full access to raw data; outputs can be generated using a wide variety of processing and analysis platforms.

WATER MANAGEMENT

RedEdge-P can provide powerful insights into water management. For example, color composites using the NIR band (like CIR) can help users identify overly damp areas. In addition, areas that are benefiting from excess irrigation will be highlighted.

PLANT PHENOTYPING

Manually measuring plant characteristics is time-consuming. RedEdge-MX captures more data in less time, allowing researchers to understand how different breeds react to certain environments and modify desirable traits in order to improve yield.

CROP HEALTH MAPPING

Low chlorophyll content is often an early indicator of plant stress. RedEdge-P captures both visible and invisible spectral bands. From the different bands, it is possible to generate indices to see individual chlorophyll levels in the plants and compare over time.

FERTILIZER MANAGEMENT

RedEdge-P not only allows for easy identification of areas low in nutrients but also help monitor the effects of fertilizer applications throughout the season and determine if, when, and where a new application is needed.

DISEASE IDENTIFICATION

RedEdge-P captures a critical part of the light spectrum for studying plants (712-722 nm), called the red edge band. It is in this section of the spectrum that the first signs of stress start to show. Using analytics generated with the red edge band, growers can identify disease sooner and act faster to stop the spread.

SPECIES DIFFERENTATION

Some differences among species may not be visible to the naked eye. High-quality multispectral data allows for species differentiation by highlighting characteristics such as chlorophyll content, vigor, and leaf size.

ADVANCED CROP SCOUTING

High-quality multispectral imagery provides advanced field scouting capabilities. In one flight, it is possible to collect accurate and geotagged information of a problem, making it easy to assess the situation and determine the appropriate intervention.

WEED DETECTION

Analytics developed with multispectral data can identify and highlight weeds, as weeds may have a different spectral signature than the planted crop.

TERRAIN MODELING

One of the advantages of a calibrated multispectral sensor is the generation of aligned outputs, which can be used to create digital surface models (DSM). A DSM provides insights into water management, land uses and terrain elevation.

LEAK SCOUTING

By measuring the reflectance on the red edge band, RedEdge allows the detection of irrigation leaks. The reflectance of the plants located in the areas with excessive irrigation varies from the rest of the field, oftentimes appearing healthier and showing high NDRE values.

Orthomosiac

Orthomosiac (3.26GB)
Fully processed orthomosaic captured in October 2021 in the Pacific Northwest over a pumpkin farm.
The pan-sharpened GSD of the flight is 2cm per pixel.
Note that the output format is GeoTiff and is intended to be viewed using GIS software (QGIS , ArcPro, ArcMap…).
