The DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral has been added to DJI’s enterprise lineup of the Mavic 3 series drones. Featuring an advanced RGB camera, as well as an integrated multispectral camera, this drone is designed to help advance agriculture operations. Its goal is to help improve the quality and efficiency of crop production, all while reducing the costs of crop monitoring and analysis.
The Mavic 3 Multispectral is a necessary platform solution for various applications in the fields—it’s ideal for precision agriculture and environmental monitoring. Compared to traditional agricultural drones and sensors, the Mavic 3 Multispectral has greater portability, weighing just 951 grams. The Mavic 3M helps users to carry out operations anytime, anywhere.
With the RGB and multispectral imaging system, the M3M uses a two-in-one camera system to view and collect a wide array of information that users can turn into results on the field. The RGB camera has a 4/3-inch CMOS and 20MP image sensor and a mechanical shutter with a maximum speed of 1/2000, and high-speed continuous filming at 0.7 seconds. This allows the drone to quickly collect image information, greatly improving the efficiency of operations over the fields.
The four-lens multispectral camera offers accurate directional information, detecting factors that can’t be seen by the human eye. Each of the four multispectral cameras can capture 5 million pixels and are able to sense these four wavelengths:
-
- Green (G): 560nm ± 16nm
- Red (R): 650 nm ± 20 nm
- Red edge (RE): 730 nm ± 20 nm
- Near-infrared (NIR) 860 nm ± 26 nm
The Mavic 3M can perform high-precision aerial surveys, crop growth monitoring, and natural resource surveys on mountain forests and orchards. The DJI SmartFarm Platform generates an NDVI vegetation index to provide the data for more efficient and localized crop treatment. Automatic field scouting can detect crop abnormalities and perform intelligent analyses that allow a single person to manage 70 hectares of land.
With its RTK module, the M3M can achieve centimeter-level positioning; with full synchronization of the RTK, drone, and camera, the M3M accurately obtains the position information of the imaging center of each camera, enabling the M3M to perform without ground control points. With a battery life of up to 43 minutes, M3M can complete the surveying and mapping operations of an area as vast as 2 square kilometers in a single flight.
To operate in complex environments, like orchards, the Mavic 3M has omnidirectional obstacle sensing, detecting obstacles in all directions. It also has O3 video transmission, which integrates two channels of transmitting signals and four channels of receiving signals, and supports an ultra-long transmission distance of 15 kilometers.
This helps users and partners in different fields integrate the M3M into various ecosystems, offering unlimited possibilities for smart agriculture. With the built-in DJI Cloud API, based on the MQTT protocol in Pilot 2, users can connect Mavic 3M to a third-party cloud platform to collect information, live video, photo data, and other information. Users can also develop exclusive control apps for intelligent monitoring and much more by using the Mobile SDK 5 (MSDK5).
There’s no doubt that the Mavic 3 Multispectral is going to change the way precision farming works. For more information on the Mavic 3 Multispectral, connect with our experts.
