Sony A7R Multispectral Sextuple

The Sony A7R Multispectral Sextuple camera features a specially designed lens system capturing 14 narrow bands for high resolution NDVI data collection. Agrowing have designed this system using their patented lens fitted into a modified Sony camera body. Agrowing’s patented design enables having 14 customised narrow bands, including 6 red bands, offering the best possible multispectral solution in the market.

Each system is made to order and can be built into the Sony AR7 ii/iii or iv. Resolution for the A7Riv based sensor is 8 Megapixels per band, while the A7Rii/iii based sensor is of 6 Megapixels per band.These camera systems can be mounted on a drone, kits are available for DJI Matrice 600 and 200 series drones, M300 kits will be available soon. Integration options are available for mounting this camera into other drone systems. Contact us with your requirements.

The unique design of Agrowing’s sensors and imagery acquisition method, result in the ability to analyze extremely high-resolution multispectral data, which is collected from outlying and suspicious areas of interest, as an additional step to our high-end traditional NDVI. Such areas are in many cases inaccessible to the agronomists. Agrowing’s vision and technologies enable accurate in-the-field automatic machine-vision and machine-learning identification of agricultural hazards like pests, diseases and irregularities like stress and nutrient deficiencies.

Agrowing revolutionizes precision agriculture by using the high-end NDVI maps, which are produced by Agrowing’s sensors, as the pedestal for its innovative patent pending Remote&Close Sensing. NDVI and similar multispectral metrics and maps have limited value. They provide assessments and guesstimations, which call for verification. Agrowing’s Remote&Close Sensing provides the grower with accurate actionable data, which minimizes and even eliminates the need for such verification.
