MicaSense Altum-PT Multispectral Kit
Optimized 3-in-1 solution for advanced remote sensing and agricultural research.
Seamlessly integrates a 12 MP high-resolution panchromatic sensor, a new thermal sensor that provides twice the ground resolution of the previous Altum, and five discrete spectral bands.
Its high-resolution makes it the perfect sensor for machine learning plant-level applications such as early-stage crop counting. It also features a global shutter for distortion-free results, open APIs, and a new storage device allowing up to 2 captures/second.
KEY FEATURES
- Removable, professional-grade CFexpress storage up to 2TB allowing for 2 captures/second.
- Ultra-high-resolution panchromatic imager for data outputs at 2.49cm resolution from 120m — more than 2 times the resolution of today’s comparable multispectral cameras.
- Built-in 320 x 256 radiometric thermal imager for two times the ground resolution of the current Altum.
