Micasense RedEdge-P Dual

Features

10 spectral bands for enhanced data comparison with satellites

High-resolution multispectral and RGB composite drone sensor for plants classification, weeds identification, environmental research and conservation, and vegetation analysis of water bodies.

The dual solution features the RedEdge-P and the new RedEdge-P blue cameras.

NDAA compliant.

 

Double the analysis potential

Ten multispectral bands

The RedEdge-P dual bands cover Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 satellite bands at an enhanced spatial resolution.

 

 

Panchromatic band for enhanced resolution

The RedEdge-P dual enables a GSD of 2 cm per pixel / 0.8 in per pixel when flying at 60 m / 200 ft. Sharper imagery allows you to spot smaller problems sooner and make reliable decisions.

 

 

Coastal blue band

RedEdge-P dual unique coastal blue band is specially designed for water vegetation analysis and weeds identification in shallow water environments.

 

 

Narrow bands

Spectral narrow bands are key to detecting subtle variations in plant health and allow for more precise data. The RedEdge-P dual is a narrow-band sensor that captures the most relevant segments of the spectral curve.

 

Double calibration

The DLS light sensor and CRP reflectance panel are one of a kind in the market and allow accurate and reliable data in varying light conditions, enabling time series analysis.

 

Global shutter

On all 10 lenses that withstands vibration without degrading image quality. The global shutter of the RedEdge-P dual allows for distortion-free image captures.

 

Up to 3 images/second

CFexpress card of 128 GB storage enables up to three captures per second and immediate turnaround time between flights by swapping cards.

 

Synchronized capture

Synchronized capture of all 10-bands, automatic triggering and geotagging of images for efficient flight times and easy post-processing.

 

Why RedEdge-P

Two cameras, one workflow

 

 

Correlate drone and satellite data

The RedEdge-P dual bands cover Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 satellite bands (~10 m / 32 ft per pixel) at an enhanced spatial resolution of 2 cm / 0.8 in. It enables the use of many indices already created using satellites.

 

 

Conduct time-series analysis

The RedEdge-P dual multispectral kit comes with a Calibrated Reflectance Panel (CRP) and a Downwelling Light Sensor (DLS). These radiometric calibration tools account for different weather and light conditions, providing data that enables reliable time series analysis and comparability of outputs over time.

 

 

Perform AI applications

The RedEdge-P dual‘s panchromatic band enables high-resolution RGB and multispectral imagery for machine learning applications, such as early-stage crop counting.

 

 

Compatible with a wide range of software

The RedEdge-P dual is compatible with the DJI Matrice 300 drone. The camera features an open API interface for easy integration with most flight planning and post-processing software.

 

Get insights invisible to the naked eye

Simultaneous capture of all bands, enabling multiple high-resolution outputs and indexes, such as RGB, NDVI, NDRE, OSAVI, NIT, CIR, DSM and more.

 

Made in USA

MicaSense series sensors are manufactured in the U.S. (NDAA compliant) and employed at academic, private and government institutions worldwide since 2014.

 

USE CASES AND APPLICATIONS

Perform detailed analysis

 

 

Vegetation analysis of water bodies

Surveys over water for chlorophyll efficiency examination, vegetation analysis and identification of algae or floating, submerged and emergent plants.

 

 

Environmental monitoring

Coastal and near-shore mapping for water resources management, tidal zones, swamps and glacier monitoring.

 

 

Water management

Public water supply surveillance, water resources management.

 

 

Habitat monitoring, protection and restoration

Erosion and biodiversity inspections, reef surveys over shallow waters, inaccessible to vessels and sensitive to human interaction.

 

 

Vegetation species and weeds identification

Vegetation health management and species identification, including the ability to differentiate and count plants, trees, invasive species, and weeds.

 

Accessories included

Radiometric calibration

 

 

DLS light sensor

The Downwelling Light Sensor (DLS) is an advanced incident light sensor. It measures the ambient light and sun angle for each of the multispectral bands of the camera. This information can then be used by specialized processing tools to correct global lighting changes in the middle of a flight, such as those that can happen due to clouds covering the sun.

 

 

CRP reflectance panel

The Calibrated Reflectance Panel (CRP) is a compact radiometric calibration tool. The panel has pre-measured reflectance values across the visible and near-infrared light spectrum and therefore acts as a “control”. Taking a picture of the calibration panel allows you to assign the known reflectance values and adjust your dataset accordingly during post-processing.
