Sensing

Imaging and sensing systems.

The aircraft carries multispectral imaging, LiDAR, and low-light sensors. Other methods add acoustic, radio, and vibration data.

Color-infrared visualization of farm fields

Farm-field imaging

Near-infrared false color emphasizes differences in vegetation response. Dense growth appears red; lighter areas prompt a closer look.

One field, multiple views.

Visible, spectral, spatial, and low-light views answer different questions about the same site.

Eight-camera array

A two-column, four-row array brings selected spectral views together across a scene.

Other sensing methods

Different signals add context that imaging alone cannot supply.

Infrasound detects very low-frequency pressure waves.

Millimeter wave provides range and motion information.

UWB supports ranging and relative position.

Wi-Fi CSI can indicate presence or movement through radio-link changes.

Vibration follows motion in machines and structures.

Sensor data and interpretation

A useful system reports what it measured, where and when it happened, and how confident the interpretation is.
