MicaSense Altum-PT Multispectral Sensor with Thermal Imager

MicaSense Altum-PT
Altum-PT is an optimized 3-in-1 solution for advanced remote sensing and agricultural research. It seamlessly integrates an ultra-high-resolution panchromatic thermal imager, a new thermal imager that delivers twice the ground resolution of the previous Altum, and five discrete spectral bands, enabling enterprise-level applications such as early-stage stand counting. Altum-PT also features a global shutter for distortion-free results, open APIs, and a new storage device that enables up to 2 captures per second.

The Altum-PT sensor kit includes: Altum-PT sensor, DLS 2 with built-in GPS, Calibrated Reflectance Panel (CRP 2), USB WiFi dongle, lens cap, necessary integration cables, various mounting hardware, CFexpress card, CFexpress card reader, hard case, quick start guide.

KEY FEATURE
INCREASED STORAGE
The new professional standard for removable media in CFexpress, delivering more than two captures per second, instant processing time between flights by swapping cards, and ultra-fast card-to-computer download speeds for more efficient data management.

TWICE THE SPATIAL RESOLUTION OF THE PREVIOUS ALTUM
The Altum-PT features an ultra-high resolution panchromatic sensor that enables “sharpening” of multispectral imagery, ultimately increasing the spatial resolution of multispectral data: 1.2 cm (0.47 in) panchromatic ground resolution when flying at 60 m (200 ft).

ADVANCED THERMAL SENSOR
The Altum-PT features an integrated FLIR Boson® with 320 x 256 resolution, creating heat maps with twice the resolution of the Altum – 17 cm from a flight altitude of 60 m.
