Product Description
SlantRange Drone Sensors 4P+ Sensor System
DESCRIPTION
The most advanced SlantRange sensor, the SlantRange 4P+ embodies evolutions of technology that SlantRange introduced to UAV-borne field and crop data collection. Resolution on the 4P+ is the highest yet available in drone-mounted crop sensors. SlantRange has perfected automatic light calibration without the need for on-the-ground calibration targets, and precise drone positioning using GPS and IMU inputs—SlantRange 4P+ works fully over even the most remote farm or field. Accuracy is paramount to comparisons of field data over time. To achieve it, SlantRange 4P+ uses not only full-frame light calibration but also dual GPS and inertial navigation that is RTK-enabled and Kalman-filtered for electronic noise deletion.
The narrow 20 percent overlap required by the 4P+ translates to fewer passes and shorter flight times to collect multiple data sets—up to 1,000 acres in an hour. Viewable layers from data analyses can display population density, weed density, and yield potential, among other factors.
Key Features
-
Six-Band Spectral Imaging: Captures light across RGB, red, green, red edge, and near-infrared (NIR) bands for NDVI and NDRE analysis.
-
Red Edge Detection: Identifies early signs of crop stress and disease, enabling timely intervention.
-
Enhanced Efficiency: Covers a 160-acre survey in just 17 minutes with only 20% flight overlap.
-
Onboard Processing: Generates actionable crop insights at the field’s edge without needing an internet connection.
-
Drone Compatibility: Adaptable to most UAVs, optimized for DJI M200 series, with DJI Skyport compatibility available.
USED BY FARMERS, AGRICULTURAL ADVISORS & ACADEMICS
In the digital age, the journey from planting to harvest goes through the air. Aerial crop scouting and resultant NDVI and NDRE crop mapping analyses influence every major decision a farmer makes. Efficient planting density, irrigation, and application of nutrients, pesticides, and herbicides all rely on accurate information. No crop scouting sensors generate more actionable data than SlantRange sensors.
When mounted on drones, SlantRange sensors gather richer, more detailed data than any competing system that scouts field and crop health. Adaptability to most UAVs plus unprecedented high resolution and spatial awareness take accuracy and reliability of data to new heights.
Who Benefits from SlantRange Sensors
Farming professionals, including growers on operations of all sizes, and the professionals who supply them with equipment, materials, and advice use SlantRange sensors to gather highly accurate information.
Actionable data is harvested and processed long before a single kernel or grain. Analyses that make sense of all that data enable farmers to make decisions pinpointing problem areas and maximizing yield—and profit.
- Farmers and farm managers
- Agricultural equipment dealers
- Suppliers of nutrients, herbicides and pesticides
- Agronomists, researchers and academics
- Crop consultants
- Extension services
- Sprayers
- Installers and suppliers of drainage tile systems
- Seed producers maintaining test plots
- High school, college and university agricultural programs
Advantages
Light Measurement
SlantRange’s newest sensors measure light from six spectral bands, including light the human eye can’t see: RGB imaging plus red, green, red edge, and near-infrared (NIR).
Red Edge Readings
Red edge readings give earlier indications of crop disease and stress, allowing earlier action.
Pioneered Light Calibration
SlantRange pioneered light calibration to lend extreme accuracy to repeat data-gathering flights made for the purpose of gauging the effectiveness of remedial action over time.
Exact Location Flyovers
Drones with SlantRange sensors mounted to them return to their exact spot for subsequent flyovers, recording mages from precisely the same angle.
More data means more accuracy, and that’s where SlantRange sensors excel.
The higher resolution of SlantRange 4P sensors—higher still in the SlantRange 4P+—and the six-band sensitivity mean more data is available to analytical programs that turn it into informational crop maps. The data gathered by 4P and 4P+ creates layers of information, such as plant population, weed density, and crop stress, that can be obtained by the operator at the field’s edge minutes after landing the drone. Data is processed onboard the sensor. Standard full-frame light calibration and positioning based on both dual GPS and IMU data make intermittent readings totally compatible. Crops are captured from the same angle and the same location the drone had been in earlier, and with sunlight calibration, in comparable light regardless of time or day, weather or season. Its ability to read the red edge light band facilitates early diagnosis of crop disease and stress, speeding corrective action.
SlantRange sensors can be mounted on a range of drones, with optimal performance when mounted on a DJI M200 series quadcopter. A Drone Nerds consultant can help you obtain the mounting hardware you need. SlantRange 4P versions compatible with and controllable through DJI Skyport also are available. SlantRange sensors work with SlantRange SlantView software and with other agricultural analytic platforms. All SlantRage 4P and 4P+ sensors ship with a GPC Hardshell Case, Power Cable, and SD Card.
