The MicaSense Altum-PT is an optimized 3-in-1 solution for advanced remote sensing and agricultural research. Seamlessly integrates a 12 MP high-resolution panchromatic sensor, which 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. The Altum-PT SkyPort ensures perfect compatibility with DJI’s M300 RTK drone.
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 - 0.47 in. per pixel pan-sharpened ground resolution when flying at 200 ft.
Thermal Sensor
The built-in 320 x 256 FLIR Boson® thermal sensor enables accurate thermal maps at a GSD of 6.7 in. from 200 ft. flight altitude.
Five 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)
Fast Capture Rate
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.
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 drone. 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 - Made in the USA
MicaSense 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. All MicaSense series sensors are designed, manufactured and engineered in the USA.
