Why Choose The RedEdge P Multispectral Camera?

The RedEdge P Multispectral Camera integrates advanced Multispectral Sensor technology, ensuring high-resolution and accurate imaging for various applications. Here's why the RedEdge-P is an industry leader:

• Multispectral Sensor Capabilities: The RedEdge-P features a sophisticated sensor multispectral that captures five distinct spectral bands: Blue (475nm ±32nm), Green (560nm ±27nm), Red (668nm ±14nm), Red Edge (717nm ±12nm), and Near Infrared (842nm ±57nm). This broad spectral coverage allows for detailed analysis and monitoring across different applications.
• High-Resolution Imaging: The Micasense Sensor boasts a resolution of 1456 x 1088 (1.6 MP per multispectral band) and 2464 x 2056 (5.1 MP panchromatic band), providing clear and detailed images. The RGB color output reaches 5.1 MP with global shutter technology, ensuring precise alignment across all bands.
• Advanced Capture Rate: With the ability to capture up to 3 images per second in raw DNG format, the P RedEdge ensures rapid data collection. Capture rates can vary depending on the write speed of the USB storage device.
• Multispectral GSD: Achieve detailed imagery with a ground sampling distance (GSD) of 7.7 cm per pixel at 120m altitude or 3 inches per pixel at 400 ft. For panchromatic and pansharpened GSD, it’s 3.98 cm per pixel at 120m or 1.56 inches per pixel at 400 ft.
• Versatile Connectivity: The MicaSense RedEdge P offers numerous connectivity options, including configurable GPIO ports, USB 2.0 for Wi-Fi, serial connections, and 10/100/1000 Ethernet. It also supports CF Express for storage, ensuring efficient data handling.
• Compact and Lightweight: Weighing 363 grams (12.8 oz) and measuring 8.9 cm x 7.0 cm x 6.7 cm (3.5 in x 2.8 in x 2.6 in), the P RedEdge is designed to be both compact and easy to integrate with various drone platforms.

RedEdge P Multispectral Sensor: Compatibility With Matrice 300 RTK And Matrice 350 RTK

The MicaSense RedEdge Multispectral Camera is fully compatible with the DJI MATRICE 300 RTK and DJI MATRICE 350 RTK drones, enhancing their capabilities for professional-grade aerial imaging.

• Matrice 300 RTK: Known for its rugged design and versatility, the Matrice 300 RTK is ideal for demanding aerial applications. When paired with the RedEdge P, it provides high-resolution multispectral imaging, making it perfect for detailed analysis in agriculture and environmental studies. The RedEdge-P’s integration with the Matrice 300 RTK leverages the drone’s advanced flight control and navigation features for optimal data capture.
• Matrice 350 RTK: The Matrice 350 RTK offers extended flight performance and endurance, suitable for long-duration missions. Coupled with the P RedEdge, this drone delivers even greater data collection capabilities, combining the RedEdge Camera’s high-resolution sensor multispectral with the drone’s superior performance. This setup is ideal for comprehensive projects requiring reliable and precise imagery.

RedEdge P Multispectral Sensor: Comparing RedEdge-P And RedEdge-MX

Both the RedEdge P and RedEdge-MX are renowned for their multispectral imaging capabilities, but each has distinct advantages tailored to different needs.

• RedEdge-P:

• • • Spectral Bands: Captures five spectral bands, including Red Edge, which is critical for advanced vegetation analysis.
    • Resolution: 5.1 MP in the panchromatic band as well as 1.6 MP in each multispectral band.
    • Capture Rate: Up to 3 captures per second in raw DNG format.
    • GSD: 7.7 cm per pixel (multispectral) and 3.98 cm per pixel (panchromatic) at 120m altitude.
    • Connectivity: Features include GPIO ports, USB 2.0, serial, Ethernet, and CF Express storage.

• RedEdge-MX:

• • Spectral Bands: Also captures five spectral bands but includes the Red Edge band for specific vegetation insights.
  • Resolution: 1.2 MP per multispectral band and 4.8 MP panchromatic band.
  • Capture Rate: Up to 2.5 captures per second, depending on the storage device.
  • GSD: 5 cm per pixel at 120m altitude.
  • Connectivity: Similar to RedEdge-P but may lack some advanced features like configurable GPIO ports.

The RedEdge P offers higher resolution and a slightly faster capture rate compared to the RedEdge-MX, making it more suitable for applications requiring detailed imagery and rapid data collection. However, the RedEdge-MX remains a strong choice for users who need reliable multispectral imaging with slightly lower resolution and capture rate.
