CHN SPEC FS-50/60 Drone-borne Multispectral Camera (400~1000nm, 60 Spectral Channels)

CHN SPEC FS-50/60 Drone-borne Multispectral Camera (400~1000nm, 60 Spectral Channels)

CHN SPEC FS-50/60 multispectral camera (Wavelength range 400~1000nm, 60 channels) is a next-generation spectral imaging scanning device, specially designed for integration on advanced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms such as the DJI Matrice 300 RTK or M350 RTK. Possessing a breakthrough integrated “imaging-spectral” technology, this device enables detailed surface data acquisition, transforming complex spectral data into smart analytical information in real time.

With a 60-channel spectral configuration operating in the wavelength range from 400nm to 1000nm, the CHN SPEC FS-50/60 is the perfect solution for precision agriculture, defense reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, and natural resource surveys.

Key Feature Highlights of CHN SPEC FS-50/60

1. High Spectral Channels & Superior Resolution

Unlike standard multispectral cameras, the FS-50/60 version possesses up to 60 distinct spectral channels. Each channel outputs a wavelength spaced exactly 10nm apart within the 400nm – 1000nm range (Visible to Near-Infrared VNIR region). The spectral resolution (FWHM) reaches 3.5nm combined with a 2K spatial resolution (1920 pixels), helping to detect the smallest variations on object surfaces that are invisible to the naked eye or traditional RGB cameras.

2. Distortion-Free Global Shutter Design

The product is equipped with a premium 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor with Global Shutter technology. When mounted on a UAV flying at high speeds or high altitudes, the camera still ensures sharp captured images, free from motion distortion or blurring (jello effect), bringing absolute accuracy to map data.

3. Perfectly Optimized for Drones (UAVs)

• Ultra-lightweight: The body weight is only ≤ 840g, and the compact dimensions (≤155 × 95 × 119mm) help reduce the payload on the UAV, extending the maximum flight time for each mission.
• DJI X-Port Interface: Supports convenient Plug-and-Play functionality directly with DJI’s industrial drones. The device draws power and receives gimbal control commands directly through the X-Port interface.
• High-Capacity Storage: Features a built-in 512GB high-speed SSD, allowing the continuous recording of massive volumes of spectral data (12-bit data format) throughout the flight.

4. Powerful Analytical Software Ecosystem

The device comes bundled with a dedicated proprietary analytical software trio:

• FIGSPEC UAV: Flight control and real-time data acquisition monitoring software.
• FIGSPEC Merge: X-axis/Y-axis image strip processing and stitching software into visual maps.
• FIGSPEC Studio: In-depth analysis software with built-in popular vegetation indices such as NDVI, NDRE, etc., allowing rapid quantification of crop health and water status. The output file formats are fully compatible with third-party software like ENVI.

Practical Applications:

Thanks to its ability to record the distinctive “spectral fingerprint” of each material type, the CHN SPEC FS-50/60 is widely applied in:

• Precision Agriculture: Surveying and quantitatively evaluating crop canopy coverage, diagnosing early-stage pests and diseases, monitoring water/nutrient stress in crops, and forecasting yield and harvest energy.
• Environmental & Water Quality Monitoring: Analyzing pollution levels in river and lake sources, tracking algal blooms (eutrophication), detecting industrial wastewater, and monitoring forest ecosystems.
• Forestry & Disaster Prevention: Classifying tree species in forests, tracking forestry pests and diseases, and checking biomass moisture content to provide early warnings of forest fire risks.
• Defense, Security & Target Identification: Identifying camouflaged targets based on the differences in spectral reflectance characteristics between man-made materials and natural vegetation.

CHN SPEC FS-50/60 multispectral camera is a strategic investment to upgrade drone-borne aerial survey solutions, providing accurate, scientific, and highly practical digitized data sources for all your projects.
