MicaSense Calibrated Reflectance Panel 2 (CRP2)
The MicaSense Calibrated Reflectance Panel 2 is a compact, field-ready calibration tool designed for professionals using multispectral drone sensors. Built with pre-measured reflectance values across the visible to near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, the CRP2 allows for accurate radiometric correction during post-processing.
Accurate Field Calibration for Multispectral Data
Before each flight, simply capture an image of the CRP2 under the same lighting conditions as your mission. This lets you assign known reflectance values to your drone imagery—ensuring consistent, reliable results across time, location, and datasets.
Whether you’re flying with MicaSense RedEdge, Altum, or similar multispectral cameras, this panel provides the reference data needed for precision agriculture, canopy health monitoring, and environmental research.
Key Benefits:
- Precision calibration – Assign accurate reflectance values during post-processing
- Multispectral compatibility – Built for MicaSense RedEdge, Altum, and other multispectral sensors
- Compact and portable – Designed for quick deployment in the field
-
Weather-resistant casing – Durable and field-ready for harsh environments
Visible + NIR reflectance values – Covers the full range required for vegetation indices like NDVI
Use Cases: When and Why to Use a Reflectance Panel
A calibrated reflectance panel for agricultural mapping is essential for:
- Crop health monitoring – Ensure consistent vegetation index data across flights
- Canopy analysis in forestry – Measure subtle changes in reflectivity over time
- Environmental research – Eliminate lighting variables for accurate temporal studies
- Field validation of remote sensing – Match drone imagery with ground-truth data
This panel is ideal for any project that relies on high-accuracy reflectance data to support GIS, remote sensing, or scientific analysis.

FAQ
What does the MicaSense CRP2 do?
It provides known reflectance values across the visible and near-infrared spectrum for radiometric calibration of drone multispectral imagery.
Which sensors is this panel compatible with?
The CRP2 is designed for use with MicaSense sensors, including RedEdge-P, Altum, and Altum-PT, but can also be used with other compatible systems.
Why do I need to capture a panel image before each flight?
Lighting conditions change daily. Capturing the panel before your mission allows for accurate correction based on current conditions.
Can I reuse the same reflectance panel for different locations?
Yes, as long as the panel is in good condition and not significantly worn or dirty, it can be used across multiple sites.
How do I apply the calibration during post-processing?
Use MicaSense software or compatible third-party photogrammetry tools to apply the reflectance values during image processing.
