MicaSense RedEdge-P: High-Resolution Panchromatic Multispectral Payload for Precision Agriculture and Vegetation Mapping on the SkyScout Series

The MicaSense RedEdge-P is a professional single-sensor multispectral payload built by AgEagle in the USA, designed for drone-based precision agriculture, plant health mapping, and vegetation analysis on the WISPR SkyScout Series.

It captures five spectral bands simultaneously across the blue through near-infrared spectrum, paired with a high-resolution panchromatic band that enables pan-sharpened output resolutions of 2 cm / 0.8 in per pixel at 60 m — twice the ground resolution of the industry-standard RedEdge-MX.

Purpose-built optics, narrowband scientific-grade filters, and a rigorous factory calibration process give field operators a repeatable, calibrated multispectral tool for season-long crop canopy analysis at all growth stages.

The RedEdge-P captures 1.6 MP per multispectral band at a ground sample distance of 7.7 cm per pixel at 120 m / 400 ft AGL, with the 5.1 MP panchromatic band achieving 3.98 cm per pixel at the same altitude. A global shutter aligned with all bands eliminates motion distortion during flight, while the included DLS 2 light sensor and calibrated reflectance panel provide consistent radiometric calibration across changing light conditions.

CFexpress storage supports up to 3 captures per second raw DNG, enabling faster flight speeds and reducing the time required to cover large survey areas without returning to the field computer between flights.

MicaSense RedEdge-P Core Features and Advantages

  • Panchromatic band: pan-sharpened output reaches 2 cm / 0.8 in per pixel at 60 m.
  • Five spectral bands: blue, green, red, red edge, and near-IR captured simultaneously per flight.
  • Global shutter: all bands capture simultaneously for distortion-free, pixel-aligned imagery.
  • DLS 2 light sensor: continuous ambient light monitoring ensures consistent radiometric data.
  • Calibrated reflectance panel: ground-based calibration baseline for repeatable data quality.
  • Fast capture rate: up to 3 raw DNG images per second supports efficient large-area coverage.
  • CFexpress storage: removable card enables immediate multi-flight turnaround in the field.
  • 5.1 MP panchromatic band: 3.98 cm GSD at 120 m / 400 ft AGL for high-detail mapping output.
  • Multiple index outputs: generates RGB, NDVI, NDRE, CIR, and other vegetation composites.
  • American-made: designed and built in the USA by AgEagle for professional field deployment.

The MicaSense RedEdge-P exists for operators who need a reliable, calibrated multispectral sensor that produces actionable vegetation data flight after flight without requiring a field computer between runs.

Its combination of five spectral bands, a high-resolution panchromatic channel, and CFexpress-based removable storage makes it a practical primary sensor for plant health mapping, disease identification, weed detection, phenotyping, and advanced crop scouting programs on the SkyScout Series.

What spectral bands does the MicaSense RedEdge-P capture?

The RedEdge-P captures five multispectral bands: blue at 475nm, green at 560nm, red at 668nm, red edge at 717nm, and near-IR at 842nm, each with narrowband scientific-grade filters for enhanced spectral accuracy. A sixth panchromatic band spans the full visible and near-IR range, enabling pan-sharpened RGB and multispectral outputs at resolutions not achievable with standard multispectral sensors alone.

What resolution and ground sample distance does the RedEdge-P achieve?

Each multispectral band captures at 1456 x 1088 pixels, achieving a ground sample distance of 7.7 cm per pixel at 120 m / 400 ft AGL. The 5.1 MP panchromatic band achieves 3.98 cm per pixel at the same altitude. With pan-sharpening applied in post-processing, output resolution reaches 2 cm / 0.8 in per pixel at 60 m, which is twice the ground resolution of the RedEdge-MX.

What vegetation data outputs does the MicaSense RedEdge-P produce?

The RedEdge-P generates multiple index outputs including RGB composites, NDVI, NDRE, CIR, and additional vegetation indices and composites from its five spectral bands. These outputs support a wide range of precision agriculture and research applications including plant health mapping, fertilizer management, disease identification, phenotyping, plant counting, weed detection, species differentiation, and high-resolution 3D point cloud generation.

How does the CFexpress storage benefit field operations?

CFexpress is a professional-grade removable storage standard that supports up to 3 raw DNG captures per second across all bands simultaneously. The removable card means operators can swap storage between flights without connecting a cable to the sensor or bringing a field computer to the site, significantly reducing turnaround time between missions and making multi-flight survey days more efficient.

Is the MicaSense RedEdge-P suitable for agricultural analysis?

Yes. It is commonly used for crop health monitoring and vegetation analysis.
