Developer of High-Precision Agricultural Sensors Joins the Thermal by FLIR Program

Sentera Sensors & Drones’ 6X Thermal and 6X Thermal Pro sensors have been listed in the Thermal by FLIR program for their high-precision thermal mapping and analysis in unmanned aerial systems (UAS).

With FLIR’s radiometric thermal imaging technology and Sentera’s advanced multispectral-assisted processing, the 6X Thermal Series provides professionals with a seamless, high-fidelity thermal imaging workflow. These sensors eliminate the challenges typically associated with mapping using traditional thermal sensors, offering users a fast and cost-efficient solution for generating enterprise data.

Thermal Mapping Precision

Imagery from traditional thermal sensors is often difficult to stitch and requires more overlap than most mapping missions, leading to inefficient data capture and workflows. The Sentera 6X Thermal Series overcomes these inefficiencies by leveraging rig processing technology that ensures automatic alignment and co-registration of thermal, RGB, and multispectral imagery.

This advanced capability significantly reduces overlap requirements for creating thermal mosaics, streamlining thermal data processing workflows with commonly used image processing tools. Additionally, the 6X Thermal Series delivers radiometrically accurate thermal data, ensuring precision in mapping applications.

Seamless Integration for Maximum Efficiency

The 6X Thermal and 6X Thermal Pro sensors are engineered for plug-and-play integration across multiple drone platforms, offering unmatched ease of deployment and data reliability.
Key Features:

• Broad UAS Compatibility – Easily integrates with leading drone platforms including DJI, Freefly Systems, Inspired Flight, and other industry-standard UAVs
• High-Speed Image Capture – 5fps thermal capture rate for rapid area coverage
• Flexible Thermal Resolution Options – Available in 320 and 640 radiometric thermal resolutions
• Rugged & Regulatory-Compliant – NDAA-compliant design for secure operations
• Optimized for Stability – Supports 2-axis gimbal configurations for precise, motion-free data capture

Expanding Thermal Applications with Sentera & FLIR

By combining FLIR’s radiometric thermal imaging with Sentera’s synchronized and aligned image capture technology, the 6X Thermal Series is unlocking new possibilities for thermal data analysis across multiple industries. These applications include thermal and multispectral mapping for agriculture, forestry, and environmental monitoring, as well as water stress and evaporation analysis to detect moisture loss and thermal anomalies in plant and soil health studies. The sensors also play a crucial role in industrial and infrastructure inspections by identifying heat leaks, equipment failures, and structural vulnerabilities.

Additionally, they support carbon monitoring and conservation practice verification, aiding environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance. In wildfire detection and active flame identification, the 6X Thermal Series enhances early detection and situational awareness in fire management operations.

The Future of Thermal Imaging with Sentera & FLIR
