MicaSense RedEdge-P

Overview

MicaSense RedEdge-P Multispectral Kit: scalable five-band multispectral analytics for enterprise surveys

The MicaSense RedEdge-P Multispectral Kit supports enterprise teams performing precision agriculture and environmental monitoring at scale. As a standalone multispectral sensor, it captures five narrow spectral bands using global shutter imaging to reduce motion distortion during survey flights. The system supports consistent time-series analysis under changing illumination and produces datasets commonly used for vegetation indices and analytical mapping workflows.

Designed within the modular RedEdge-P camera ecosystem, the RedEdge-P can operate independently or scale into expanded spectral configurations when paired with compatible RedEdge-P family cameras.

Five-band multispectral system overview

Image quality and spatial resolution

The RedEdge-P Multispectral Kit captures 1456 × 1088 pixels per multispectral band with a 2464 × 2056 panchromatic band and a 5.1 MP RGB output aligned to all bands. At 120 m (approximately 400 ft) AGL, published references include 7.7 cm (3 in) multispectral ground sample distance and 3.98 cm (1.5 in) panchromatic ground sample distance. With appropriate post-processing, pan-sharpening can achieve spatial detail of up to 2 cm (0.8 in) per pixel for detailed analytical mapping.
