The ultimate solution for high-res RGB and accurate - radiometric multispectral imagery
The 6X captures synchronized, radiometric multispectral imagery at 3cm GSD and high-resolution RGB imagery at 1cm GSD, suitable for advanced analytics, all in a single sensor and flight session. Leveraging a gimbal for stabilization, high dynamic range, low-noise sensors with premium-quality optics, and an optimized reflectance calibration process, the 6X maintains performance across diverse environmental conditions and across various use cases.
Key Benefits
Maximize Productivity: Light weight, fast capture rate, synchronized image capture, and gimbal allow for faster & longer flights without sacrificing data quality
Ease-of-use: Plug and play integration, rig processing support, time of capture geo-tagging, and large internal storage streamline your workflow
Easy Integration: 6X is already compatible with many popular UAS platforms and is easy to integrate with other systems using the common interfaces and I/O options
Accuracy: Paired with an incident light sensor, calibrated reflectance panel, and gimbal, 6X is ready to produce radiometrically accurate data out of the box
The spectral resolution of the 6X Multispectral + RGB Sensor
The multispectral imagers of the 6X sensor measure the light reflected in five different narrow bands (red, green, blue, red edge, and near-infrared). More bands equal more sensitivity; which increases the potential for picking up variations in vegetation conditions. The6X RGB imager measures visible light reflected across the red, green, and blue wavelengths and is useful for general observation such as plant counting or monitoring crop growth stages.
Key Use Cases
