Micasense Altum PT
The MicaSense Altum PT captures synchronized multispectral, thermal, and panchromatic data for pixel-aligned outputs at incredibly high resolutions. The capture of these bands happens simultaneously, eliminating the need for data alignment in post-processing.
Altum-PT is an optimized 3-in-1 solution for advanced remote sensing and agricultural research. More importantly, this sensor seamlessly integrates an ultra-high-resolution panchromatic imager, a new thermal imager that provides twice the ground resolution of the previous Altum. Also featured are five discrete spectral bands allowing plant-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 allowing for up to 2 captures/second.
TWICE THE SPATIAL RESOLUTION OF THE PREVIOUS ALTUM
Altum-PT features an ultra-high resolution panchromatic sensor which allows for “pan-sharpening” the multispectral imagery, ultimately increasing the spatial resolution of the multispectral data: 1.2 cm (0.47in) pan-sharpened ground resolution when flying at 60m (200ft).
UPGRADED THERMAL SENSOR
The new Altum-PT features a built-in 320 x 256 FLIR Boson® that enables thermal maps at twice the ground resolution of Altum – 17cm from 60m flight altitude.
