Taking prompt action can save crops, or even plants. This micro-plot management saves time and money by allowing a farmer to take action only where it is needed. Decisions on applying pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers and even water can be made on precisely defined parts of a field. That means you can give your drone coordinates and it will go right back there, where you can use Sequoia’s RGB camera to scout the area of concern.Ī farmer with a detailed crop map no longer has to make decisions field-by-field. It can snap up to one full-color image a second it points downward, along with the other camera lenses.īecause all images taken by Sequoia are geotagged, you’ll know the exact location of the field or portion of a field in each image and in each piece of data. In addition, the Sequoia has an RGB camera that’s useful for scouting field and crop conditions. The sunshine sensor, which is included in your purchase, attaches to the top of your drone. So even if the day goes from sunny to partly cloudy or completely overcast, your readings will continue to be accurate. Sequoia does more than capture these light readings it also adjusts for speed and height of the aircraft, and for sunlight at the time the readings are taken. Separate readings of the four bands of light produce analysis that is more detailed than and superior to data gathered by a single multi-band sensor. It has four cameras that separately capture four bands of light, including two infrared bands invisible to the human eye: Sequoia attaches to the underside of your drone. It is basically the same process that satellites have used for years in doing NDVI measurements. That data, which is geotagged for precisely locating where images and readings were taken, is analyzed for a detailed picture of crop health. They work seamlessly to gather images and measure the light coming off crops and the fields in which they are planted. Sequoia is not a single sensor, but a tiny, highly capable system of cameras and electronics. Adaptability for mounting to a wide range of multi-rotor or fixed wing drones.Compatibility with multiple analysis services.Accessibility to data by WiFi or USB port.Slot for optional SD card to add memory and ease data transfer.64GB built-in memory for recording data.Sunshine sensor for automatic adjustment of readings to ambient light.GPS and IMU for precise positioning and location of images.RGB camera for recording 14MP images of crops.Four cameras for capturing images of four bands: green, red, red edge and near infrared.Parrot Sequoia Multispectral Sensor features: The Sequoia itself is less than 2½ inches long the sunshine sensor is even smaller. The downward-facing Sequoia works in tandem with an included, upward-facing sunshine sensor. Sequoia is a precision instrument that belies its diminutive size and weight.
