Phase One

 

Digital Camera

The camera is equipped with a full frame sensor (14204 x 10652 pixels), and a 3.76-micrometer pixel size to enable higher ground resolution from a greater flight altitude. It provides larger aerial coverage resulting in improved aerial survey productivity.

The camera comes with one of eight RS lenses ranging from 32mm to 180mm focal length, and the 300mm RSM lens. All lenses are equipped with a central leaf shutter to ensure geometrically correct aerial images.

  • BSI CMOS sensor

  • High dynamic range of 83 dB

  • Fast image capture rate of 2 frames per second

  • Recommended for high quality

  • Shutter speed of 1/2500

 
 

Sensor Sub-system

The 3-band configuration is comprised of RGB and Achromatic cameras, with which images are captured in RGB. Data is then processed automatically to generate distortion-free images.

This function is extremely useful for remote sensing and mapping applications in the fields of agriculture, forestry and environment monitoring.
