Product Overview
Description
Permanent Crop Multispectral and/or Thermal Tree Health provides tree-level measurements of Blue (B), Green (G), Red (R), Red-Edge (RE), Near-Infrared (NIR), and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) spectral bands and derivate vegetation indices. This product utilizes precision-aligned orthomosaics derived from high-resolution 6-band multispectral imagery. Specific deliverables for this product are sensor dependent. Multispectral imagery that does not include the particular 6-band configuration of B, G, R, RE, NIR, and LWIR will include only a subset of deliverables.Recommended Use Cases

Environmental Conditions
Lighting
Imagery should be captured between the time of 3 hours after sunrise and 3 hours before sunset. Consistent lighting conditions required for best results, including avoidance of hard shadows cast over the field which cause bright spots and dark spots in the dataset.Wind
Wind conditions should be within the specified limits of the aircraft or system being used to carry the imaging sensor.Precipitation
There should be no active precipitation during imagery capture.Deliverables
