Introduction
Welcome to the 6X Multispectral Sensor Reflectance Panel User Guide. This user guide is designed to
provide documentation for people who will use 6X on a professional basis. This guide is targeted to
users with an understanding of multispectral imaging and image processing.

Reflectance Panel Overview
A reflectance panel has known spectral properties and can be used to convert imagery to reflectance
values under different lighting conditions. The process of converting imagery into reflectance values
allows for time series comparisons of imagery because it normalizes the data for different lighting
conditions.
Note:
Reflectance panel images should be captured pre-flight, but if you forget,
the images can be captured post-flight also.

Capture Reflectance Panel Imagery
The steps to capture reflectance panel imagery include attaching the sensor to a laptop, navigating in a
web browser to the 6x configuration page, and capturing the reflectance panel images.
