001 - Overview

What is Multispectral Imagery?

Understanding the process of Multispectral Imagery is essential for achieving the right outcome for your project.

Multispectral imagers record and measure light in several different wavelengths, including visible light and infrared light, which together represent the wavelengths of all forms of electromagnetic radiation.

How is the data collected?

RGB and infrared imagery is captured with the resulting data being a ‘multiband’ image, composed of those 4 bands. Each band represents a tiny range of wavelengths, denoting the spectral resolution, within which the light sensed at the multispectral sensor is measured..

How is the data processed?

The power in recording these individual bands of light using specialised multispectral imagery, lies in each wavelengths unique characteristics of reflection off different types of surfaces. These characteristics enable the revealing of ‘hidden’ information.

Why use Multispectral Imagery?

Measure factors such as soil moisture, plant health and the presence of water, which can be essential to farmers, foresters and other stakeholders in the land and agricultural management sectors, looking to guarantee the most effective land management practices.

002 - Equipment

What are the key elements of Multispectral Imagery?

Harness the power of Photogrammetry and discover a world of possibilities for the benefit of your projects.

What UAV imaging hardware is required?

With wide range of industry leading imaging technologies, several factors are important when considering the right hardware for producing an accurate photogrammetric model.

UAV

Determining the correct un-manned aerial vehicle (UAV) to use for each project is a crucial step, and will be influenced by operational tasks and constraints.

Camera

Highly specialised cameras are arguably the most important factor in ensuring that the multispectral imaging and processing outputs attain a high-quality outcome.

Accessories

RTK and PPK enable cm-accurate geolocation to ensure survey-grade outputs, and supplemented with GNSS mobile base stations for Ground Control Points (GCPs).
