SEQUOIA PRESENTATION
Sequoia is made up of a multispectral sensor and a
sunshine irradiance integrated into Parrot Bluegrass.
Sequoia is a multispectral sensor specifically for farming.
Its design was created according to three principal
criteria: excellent precision, minimal size and weight,
optimal ease of use. The Sequoia sensor is designed to
be suitable for all types of drones, those with fixed wings
and multi-rotors and mounted on gimbals or not. Its
use allows the capture of images of agricultural plots in
several spectral bands measuring the state of vegetation:
green (550 nm wavelength, 40 nm bandwidth), red (660
nm wavelength, 40 nm bandwidth), red-edge (735 nm
wavelength, 10 nm bandwidth) and near InfraRed (790 nm
wavelength, 40 nm bandwidth).
The photos taken can then be analysed using various
software. They can be used to make indexed maps (NDVI,
NDRE, etc.) and make recommendations regarding
nitrogen fertilisation.
