11.3 MICASENSE REDEDGE-M/MX/ALTUM CAMERA
General note: When the SD card of the MicaSense Red-Edge-M/MX/Altum is removed and attached again, it is important to
always turn off and power on the UAV afterwards.
Important: If you don‘t do this, it is possible the camera might not save the pictures on the SD card.
11.3.1 Taking a calibration picture
For a correct post processing of the pictures, it is important to calibrate the Red-Edge-M/MX/Altum camera. Please take a cali-
bration picture before and after every flight.
Before the flight, it is recommended to add this step during the flight setup before 8.11 Step 11 – Assemble the UAV.
Make sure the SD card is empty before every flight as the Red-Edge-M/MX/Altum takes five pictures simultaneously (size of each
image: approx. 2.4 MB)
Please follow these steps in order to calibrate the camera.
1.
If not already attached, attach the payload compartment.
2.
Connect the battery to the main compartment. Do not attach the wings and the rear fuselage in order to prevent
shadow on the calibration panel.
3.
Turn on the UAV.
4.
Make sure the connection between the UAV and QBase is established.
5.
Establish a WiFi connection between your computer/laptop or tablet and the camera.

7.
Open the Payload Info in the footer of QBase
8.
Select RedEdge-M/Altum Calibration to open the calibration window
9.
When taking the picture of the calibration panel:
a)
Stand beside the lower right side of the panel and make sure the sun is behind you (see picture) in order to
avoid miscalibration because of reflections on you. Hold the UAV (without rear fuselage and wings) above
the calibration panel as perpendicular as possible.
b)
