Higher Resolution, Better Data
Stress Identification and Quantification
Minimizing the effects of damage begins with quickly and accurately detecting plant stress. With the multispectral capabilities of the 6X, you can identify plant stress before symptoms are visible to the human eye.
Plant Classification and Weed Identification
Classifying plants in a given field has never been easier. With the high-resolution imagery produced by the 6X, you are able to more accurately classify plant species and detect weeds.
High-Throughput Phenotyping
Traditional methods for measuring plant characteristics are slow, costly, and laborious. The 6X allows you to capture comprehensive plant data quickly to help identify productive plants suitable for their environments and select desirable crop traits to improve outcomes.
Nutrient Analysis
The powerful multispectral data delivered by the 6X allows for you to pinpoint areas of low nutrient availability.
Biomass Monitoring
In a single flight, 6X generates the data necessary to quantify the total amount of vegetation found in your field and generate insights into crop performance.
Population Counts
High-resolution RGB data delivered by 6X can feed algorithms like those in FieldAgent® to provide precise plant counts and acre-by-acre view of what’s happening in the field.
Input Management
6X enables you to quickly identify comprehensive field health, monitor the effects of applications throughout the season and determine the need for future applications with precision.
Elevation Mapping
Topographic data maps created with 6X can help ag professionals increase operating efficiencies when building variable rate prescriptions, creating drainage or land-leveling plans, and designing subsurface drainage.
Crop Health Mapping
The 6X multispectral sensor provides you with cutting-edge crop health insights. The 6X delivers science-grade multi-band and high-resolution visual band image products via a streamlined, easy-to-use, data processing workflow.
Enabling Better Outcomes
Accurate And Repeatable Measurements
Collect your data with confidence. The 6X Multispectral sensor provides you with complete control and visibility into the image production pipeline to ensure accurate and repeatable measurements. Leave the field knowing you captured what you need.
Highest Quality Data
Enable your research to go further by demanding the highest performance standards. The 6X features 5 simultaneously triggered, precision-filtered 3.2MP global-shutter imagers, and one 20.1MP RGB imager, each with a dedicated, high-quality optical path. This combination of spatial and spectral resolution meets the most demanding research and data sciences requirements for both computer vision and spectral analysis workflows.
Calibrated Sensor, Multiple Solutions
The 6X generates the data necessary to produce the most common multispectral indices all within a single flight. Alternatively, the 6X can be customized to fit your needs if you have already identified wavelengths specific to your research goals.
Ease Of Use
Sentera has made it easier than ever to plan flights, capture data, and process imagery into an analysis-ready format. The 6X combined with our FieldAgent® software provides the only solution that takes you from data collection to analysis within a single system. Spend less time struggling through data collection and processing and more time on what matters most: your research findings.
