Question about item
Description
Each object absorbs and reflects a certain amount of light, and this amount of light is dependent on the amount of sunlight. Without a calibration process, image data captured on different days or at different times of day cannot be accurately compared for changes. The images from this calibration panel provide an accurate representation of the amount of light reaching the environment at the time of capture. This calibration panel can therefore be used to record the lighting conditions at the flight location at the time of flight and used for compensation.
This calibration panel is particularly recommended when using the cloud-based MisaSense software to evaluate the collected data. Before and after each flight, reference images of the panel are created to correct the white balance, which are included in the calculation and enable more precise data.
Specifications
- Effective calibration area: approx. 15 x 15 cm
- The special coating offers a high degree of Lambertian properties and a uniform reflectance in the visible light spectrum as well as in the near-infrared range.
- The nominal reflectance is 60 % (based on calibration data for the range from 400 nm to 500 at a distance of 1 nm)
Important note:
The panel can only be purchased with proof of the serial number of the purchased MicaSense!
