PRODUCT FEATURES
 

• Simultaneous  capture  of  five  discrete  spectral  bands  and  thermal  images.
• Aligned  thermal  and  multispectral  imagery  means  advanced  analytics  are  simpler  to  create.
• High  image  resolution  on  multispectral  images  enabling  high  resolution  applications.
• Unlimited  USB  storage  to  accommodate  larger,  higher  resolution  projects.
• Option  for  Ethernet,  serial,  or  USB  3.0  connectivity  with  host  aircraft  for  full  configuration,  status,  and  control  of  the  camera.
• Combined  Downwelling  Light  Sensor  and  GPS  for  streamlined  integration,  accurate  ambient  light  calibration. 
• Radiometrically  calibrated  spectral  and  thermal  imagers  for  precise,  repeatable  measurements.
• Embedded  mounting  points  for  easy  integration  with  larger  drones.

Optimised for drones, Altum is ready to integrate.

DLS 2

Altum comes with DLS 2, our next generation light sensor. With cutting-edge technology for irradiance and sun angle measurements, it provides more accurate, reliable data, substantially improves radiometric accuracy, and greatly reduces post-processing time. 

And, because it also contains an integrated GPS, setup with any aircraft is streamlined. 

BENEFITS RECAP

• Capture aligned high-resolution, multispectral, and thermal imagery using only one sensor. Generate analytics for phenotyping, irrigation, and plant health from one data set.

• Improved resolution means more accurate digital surface models, easier stitching at lower altitudes, and better plant classification and plant counting.

• High-capacity USB storage means you can fly longer and cover more acreage. No more changing SD cards!

• Fast capture rate enables faster flight speeds and lower flight altitudes.

• Communication and triggering options allow for a customized integration; choose the configuration that best suits your project.

• Standard 16 bit TIFF file ouputs give you full access to raw data so you can process it on the platform of your choosing. 

• DLS 2 features enhanced reflectance calibration, and combined GPS and DLS to simplify integration.
 

EACH KIT CONTAINS
