The need
The consequences of climate change and the growing need for reliable geospatial information products mean that high-resolution, flexible measurement flights are required for agriculture, forestry, waterways and urban areas. Although satellite data provides regular time series, it often has insufficient resolution for local issues and is difficult to control in terms of timing (e.g. in the event of a disaster). Due to their range and the applicable regulations, drones are generally not suitable for large-scale campaigns. Hyperspectral systems, on the other hand, are often costly and require considerable effort for evaluation and analysis. In practice, there is therefore a need for robust, configurable, application-specific multispectral data that bridges the gap between satellite monitoring and in-situ observations, and which includes a user-friendly workflow for aerial photography companies, surveyors, environmental authorities and service providers.
Precise 3D environmental monitoring
The Airborne Multispectral Camera AMC-6 is an aircraft-based stand-alone measurement system and can specifically supplement airborne laser scanning. Six cameras (1× RGB, 5× monochrome, 31.4 MP, global shutter) can be adapted to specific applications using interchangeable filter plates and narrow/broadband interference filters (350–950 nm). At a flight altitude of 1000 m, a GSD of approx. 10 cm/pix is achieved. Flexible filter sets support forest condition, precision farming, water quality and 3D city models in highly detailed applications. It delivers georeferenced multispectral orthophotos, stacks and indices (NDVI/SAVI/CIR) for 3D products, mapping, classifications and ML/DL analyses in urban, forestry, agricultural and water applications.
