Summary ​

ALTUMAL06_gte_MICASENSE (Altum AL06 (or greater) Series) is a legacy multispectral instrument operated by MicaSense on UAV. It is associated with a uav platform and has private data availability.

NOTE

This configuration applies to Altum cameras with serial numbers beginning with AL06 or higher. The start date uses the guide revision that documented the AL06 configuration because its exact production date is not specified. Imaging extension values describe the multispectral imagers, with GSD specified at 120 m above ground level. The thermal imager has a 57 degree HFOV, 44.3 degree VFOV, 1.77 mm focal length, and 0.81 m GSD at 120 m. MicaSense identifies Altum as discontinued but does not provide an exact retirement date.
