Sentera announced its ability to convert a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone into a precision scouting tool that collects TrueNDVI crop health data, just in time for the 2017 growing season in the northern hemisphere.
By integrating the ultra-lightweight, super-precise Sentera NDVI Single Sensor onto the Phantom 4 Pro platform, agronomists and growers realize a powerful asset for their operations. In a single flight, visual-band RGB, near-infrared (NIR) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data can be captured simultaneously, and then read immediately for instant insight and action. The efficiency of capture means users can cover more acres, in less time, and crop health can be assessed more frequently.
The Sentera NDVI Single Sensor features a high-sensitivity global shutter imager and low-distortion optics for crisp, clear aerial RGB and NIR data collection — directly responsible for creating accurate NDVI maps. Sentera's TrueNDVI solution captures, and then seamlessly flows data into Sentera AgVault software, where additional analytics can be performed, data is catalogued and stored, and ready to leverage immediately and for instant action — at the field edge, or across the country.
