MicaSense Altum-PT with SkyPort Kit: Pixel-aligned multispectral and thermal data with SkyPort integration
The MicaSense Altum-PT with SkyPort Kit is an enterprise-ready imaging bundle that pairs advanced multispectral and thermal sensing with direct DJI SkyPort integration. It combines the Altum-PT sensor with the SkyPort adapter designed specifically for secure mounting on supported DJI enterprise aircraft. This bundle enables synchronized capture of multispectral, panchromatic, and thermal imagery in a single flight, delivering pixel-aligned datasets for professional agriculture, research, and environmental monitoring missions.
Integrated sensing and synchronized data capture
- Multispectral resolution: 2064 × 1544 pixels per band
- Panchromatic resolution: 4112 × 3008 pixels, 12 MP
- Thermal resolution: 320 × 256 radiometric thermal imaging
- FLIR LWIR thermal sensor: 7.5–13.5 µm spectral range
- Synchronized capture across all sensors
- Pixel-aligned spectral and thermal outputs
- Integrated DLS 2 included with Altum-PT
- CFexpress storage supports high-volume missions
Spatial precision for advanced analytical workflows
Altum-PT delivers spatial detail suited for precision analytics and research-grade workflows. The high-resolution panchromatic sensor supports pan-sharpened outputs down to 1.25 cm per pixel at 60 m and 2.49 cm per pixel at 120 m. Multispectral and thermal imagery remain aligned to this spatial detail, enabling confident interpretation of vegetation indices and temperature patterns. Capturing all data modalities simultaneously improves consistency and reduces uncertainty during processing.
Thermal data as a core analytical layer
Thermal imaging is fully integrated into the Altum-PT sensing workflow. The FLIR LWIR radiometric thermal sensor captures temperature data at 320 × 256 resolution across the 7.5–13.5 µm range. This supports irrigation analysis, soil moisture evaluation, and crop stress assessment. When combined with synchronized multispectral imagery, thermal data provides deeper insight into plant health and water performance across professional operations.
