Agrowing’s ILX-LR1 Quad 25mm Multispectral Camera
The Agrowing’s ILX-LR1 Quad 25mm (Product Code: ILXLR1025) is a state-of-the-art, dual-purpose mapping solution specifically engineered to be a lightweight payload for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). It combines the capability of a high-resolution RGB camera with advanced multispectral imaging in a single, compact unit. This camera is built upon a modified Sony ILX-LR1 Full-Frame E-Mount base, ensuring professional-grade image quality and robust performance.
Dual-Purpose Imaging Excellence
This camera is designed to offer two distinct, high-quality imaging modes in one lightweight package, making it exceptionally versatile for commercial drone operations:
- High-Resolution RGB Mapping: It functions as a single 61 Megapixel (MP) RGB camera, utilizing the full resolution of the Sony sensor for detailed visual mapping and inspection. This mode is activated by using a clip-in IR-Cut filter.
- High-Resolution Multispectral: It captures data across 10 Narrow Bands (or 9 Bands + Wide RGB). Each of the multispectral bands provides a high resolution of approximately 12.1 MP (4304×2836 pixels per chroma band), offering 11x the resolution of many competing solutions.
Advanced Multispectral Band Specifications
The multispectral capability is achieved using a Quad lens single mount system. The camera’s 10 customized spectral bands are crucial for detailed vegetation indices and analysis, spanning the visible and near-infrared spectrum:
Optical and Physical Parameters
The ILX-LR1 Quad 25mm is engineered for minimal weight and maximum optical performance, earning it the Innovative Product Press Award Winner at the Commercial UAV Expo Americas.
