Counting Plants
Algorithms for counting plants need high-resolution photography. RedEdge-P produces high-resolution RGB and multispectral outputs, allowing for plant counting even in the early stages of growth, by combining a panchromatic lens with five high-resolution multispectral lenses.

High Resolution Panchromatic Sensor
RedEdge-P, when flying at 60 m / 200 ft, provides higher-resolution RGB and multispectral outputs with a resolution of 2 cm per pixel / 0.78 in per pixel thanks to a high-resolution panchromatic imager. You can identify minor issues or characteristics earlier and make more trustworthy management judgments in a range of application cases when the imagery is crisper.

Strong AI Capabilities
RedEdge-P provides high-resolution RGB and multispectral imaging for machine learning applications, including improved vegetation research applications and plant counts, because of the panchromatic band.

Multispectral Imagery Calibration
A Reflectance Panel for on-site calibration and a DLS2 light sensor for measuring sun angle and irradiance are included with every RedEdge-P camera package. By taking into consideration varying weather and lighting conditions, these radiometric calibration techniques produce more precise and trustworthy data that allow for time series analysis and output comparability over time.

Suitable with a large variety of processing Software and Drones
DJI’s M300 RTK drones are perfectly compatible with the RedEdge-P SkyPort. Moreover, the camera has an open API interface that makes it simple to integrate with a wide range of widely used software and drone platforms.
