It is a multispectral sensor with the ability to collect data in five electromagnetic spectra (red, green, blue, near-infrared and red-edge). The camera is designed for agricultural mapping, where it captures spectral bands necessary for basic crop health indicators and other analyses. The most common uses of the camera:
• vegetation quantification: the camera can provide important information about the content of chlorophyll and other photosynthetic pigments in plants. This data can be used to quantify green matter and assess the health of vegetation,
• optimization of fertilization and irrigation: based on camera data, it is possible to identify areas with different plant health conditions and adjust fertilizer and irrigation applications as needed, minimizing waste of resources,
• Disease and stress detection: Multispectral camera data can provide insight into diseases, pests and plant stress conditions before these problems are visible in the form of color or growth changes,
• Mapping and monitoring: The camera is often used to map the distribution of vegetation in various areas such as agricultural fields, forests and ecosystems. This allows you to track changes over time and collect data for planning and managing agricultural activities.
