6X Series Sensors

The ultimate solution for high-res RGB and accurate radiometric multispectral and thermal imagery

Sentera 6X multispectral UAV sensors

The Sentera 6X Series of multispectral UAV sensors provides six imagers in a compact and ultra-lightweight package, offering class-leading performance and science-grade multispectral data acquisition.

These sensors capture synchronized radiometric multispectral, thermal and high-resolution RGB imagery, suitable for advanced analytics, all in one single sensor and one flight. Leveraging a gimbal for stabilization, high-dynamic range, low-noise sensors with premium-quality optics, and an optimized reflectance calibration process.

The series features three different models, providing high-precision solutions for a wide range of data acquisition requirements. All models are provided with Sentera’s Calibrated Reflectance Panel and Incident Light Sensor. These allow the system to be radiometrically calibrated to account for lighting variations, thus ensuring superior imaging accuracy.

The 6X Series sensors maintain performance across diverse environmental conditions and across various use cases.
