CHN SPEC FS-50/90 Drone-borne Multispectral Camera (400~1000nm, 90 Spectral Channels)

CHN SPEC FS-50/90 Drone-borne Multispectral Camera (400~1000nm, 90 Spectral Channels)

CHN SPEC FS-50/90 multispectral camera is a next-generation spectral data acquisition solution, specially designed for integration on industrial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms (such as DJI Matrice 300 RTK, M350 RTK). With the capability to decompose the light spectrum into 90 independent spectral channels, the device strikes a perfect balance between fast data processing performance and quantitative analytical accuracy, completely outperforming standard low-channel multispectral cameras on the market.

💎Key Feature Highlights

Real-time radiometric calibration: Integrates an ambient light sensor (Ambient Light Sensor) mounted on top of the UAV, which automatically compensates for radiometric errors caused by cloud cover or changes in the sun’s angle, ensuring data consistency between different flight missions.

Dedicated bundled software ecosystem:

• FIGSPEC UAV: Camera configuration management and flight path synchronization software.
• FIGSPEC Merge: Automatically processes and stitches push-broom flight strips into comprehensive multi-channel orthomaps.
• FIGSPEC Studio: An advanced analytical tool that supports rapid calculation of spectral indices (NDVI, NDRE, LCI, OSAVI…) and the construction of quantitative predictive models.

Smooth operation (Plug-and-Play): Fast installation without complex wiring, perfectly compatible with industrial drone flight control ground stations.

🎯Practical Applications

With 90 continuous scanning spectral channels, the CHN SPEC FS-50/90 excellently meets stringent requirements in research and field applications:

• Precision Agriculture: Monitors and maps crop health, providing early detection of water stress, nutrient deficiencies (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium), or pest infestations long before they become visible to the naked eye.
• Forestry Management & Protection: Classifies vegetation, identifies tree species within forest zones, evaluates canopy cover density, and calculates forest biomass stocks for carbon credit projects.
• Water Environment Monitoring: Rapidly surveys water quality in rivers and lakes, detects polluted industrial wastewater zones, tracks total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations, and monitors algal blooms causing eutrophication.
• Geological Surveying & Planning: Assists in surface soil mapping, rock and substrate classification, and rapid identification of mineral outcroppings based on spectral reflectance characteristics.
