Airinov 4 band multispectral AgroSensor.

This french designed sensor is specifically designed for vegetation operations and captures 10bit images with highly calibrated radiometric precision over 4 sections of the electromagnetic spectrum, Green, Red, Red Edge and Near Infra-Red (NIR). Vegetation species exhibit different spectral signatures, with particular variation around NIR. These signatures can be used to develop automatic image classification processes for species detection, classification and assessment.
