CHN SPEC FS-50/150 Drone-borne Multispectral Camera (400~1000nm, 150 Spectral Channels)

CHN SPEC FS-50/150 Drone-borne Multispectral Camera (400~1000nm, 150 Spectral Channels)

CHN SPEC FS-50/150 multispectral camera is a breakthrough generation of spectral imaging equipment specially designed for integration on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms, typically industrial drones like the DJI Matrice 350 RTK or M300 RTK. With the capability to divide the light spectrum into 150 distinct spectral channels, the device enables the collection of accurate “spectral fingerprints” of target surfaces from the air, optimally serving advanced quantitative analysis tasks.

Product Highlights

• Ultra-High Spectral Channels (150 Channels): Provides an extremely high density of spectral data with each wavelength spaced only about 4nm apart, and a spectral resolution (FWHM) of 2.5nm. This allows the camera to record the smallest variations in the light reflectance structure of objects that are invisible to the naked eye or conventional RGB cameras.
• 2K Spatial Resolution: Equipped with a high-quality 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor delivering a spatial resolution of up to 1920 pixels, ensuring sharp images even when scanning from high altitudes.
• Global Shutter: Completely eliminates moving image distortion (rolling shutter effect), which is vital for scanning data from UAV platforms traveling at high speeds.
• Seamless Integration with the DJI Ecosystem: Supports the DJI X-Port interface for connection and power supply, offering a convenient Plug-and-Play mechanism and direct control via ground stations.
• Massive Storage Capacity & Synced Software: Built-in 512GB SSD storage meets the continuous high-speed data recording requirements of large spectral datasets. Comes with a dedicated proprietary software ecosystem: FIGSPEC UAV (flight control), FIGSPEC Merge (image stitching), and FIGSPEC Studio (data analysis).

Typical Practical Applications

Thanks to its ultra-dense 150-channel spectral resolution, the CHN SPEC FS-50/150 effectively solves complex challenges that standard RGB cameras or low-channel multispectral cameras cannot address:

• Precision Agriculture & Forestry: Quantifies crop health and detects early signs of stress due to water deficiency, lack of fertilizer, or pest infestation before visual symptoms manifest to the naked eye. Forecasts crop yields and classifies forest vegetation.
• Water Environment Ecological Monitoring: Identifies and maps water bodies polluted by industrial discharges, monitors eutrophication (algae blooms) in rivers and lakes, and calculates suspended particulate indices that determine water quality.
• Target Detection & Security: Identifies camouflage netting and accurately defines geological boundaries for national defense and border management.
• Disaster Prevention and Mitigation: Assesses damage after floods, forest fires, or landslides based on changes in the spectral characteristics of the terrain surface.
