MICASENSE MULTI ESPECTRAL CAMERA ALTUM-PT KIT

MicaSense series

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.

What's included

Standard Kit

Features

Accurate results at leaf-level resolutions

High resolution

Altum-PT features a high resolution 12.4 MP panchromatic sensor, which allows for “pan-sharpening” of the multispectral imagery, increasing the spatial resolution of the multispectral data: 1.25 cm per pixel / 0.47 in per pixel pan-sharpened ground resolution when flying at 60 m / 200 ft .

Thermal sensor

The built-in 320 x 256 FLIR Boson® thermal sensor enables accurate thermal maps at a GSD of 17 cm / 6.7 in from 60 m / 200 ft flight altitude.

5 Multispectral bands

• Blue (475 nm center, 32 nm bandwidth)
• Green (560 nm center, 27 nm bandwidth)
• Red (668 nm center, 14 nm bandwidth)
• Red edge (717 nm center, 12 nm bandwidth)
• Near-IR (842 nm center, 57 nm bandwidth)

Capture rate of up to 2 images/second

Altum-PT leverages CFexpress, a 2 TB removable storage that enables up to two captures per second*, immediate turnaround time between flights by swapping cards, and fast card-to-computer upload speeds for more efficient data management.

*depending on user configurations

Global shutter

The global shutter of Altum-PT allows for distortion-free image captures.

Why Altum-PT

Increase data accuracy and repeatability

Calibrated multispectral imagery

Each Altum-PT camera kit comes with a Reflectance Panel for on-the-ground calibration as well as a DLS2 light sensor for irradiance and sun angle measurements. These radiometric calibration tools account for different weather and light conditions, providing more accurate, reliable data that enable time series analysis and comparability of outputs over time.

Powerful AI capabilities

Thanks to the panchromatic band, Altum-PT enables high-resolution RGB, multispectral, and thermal imagery for machine learning applications such as plant counting and advanced vegetation research applications.

Open interface for easy integration

The Altum-PT SkyPort ensures perfect compatibility with DJI’s M300 RTK drones. The camera also features an open API interface for easy integration with many popular drone and software platforms.

Synchronized thermal and multispectral capture

The simultaneous capture of multispectral, thermal, and panchromatic bands eliminates the need for data alignment in post-processing and enables high-resolution outputs such as RGB color, NDVI, NDRE, CIR.

User-driven design

Our products are designed upon customer feedback. The Altum-PT features twice the spatial resolution of previous Altum models, a faster capture rate and RTK support for DJI M300 drones.

Made in USA

All MicaSense series sensors are designed, manufactured and engineered in the USA.
