Sentera 6X Calibrated Reflectance Panel Kit: Reliable reference for accurate multispectral data
The Sentera 6X Calibrated Reflectance Panel Kit is a precision accessory designed to improve the accuracy and consistency of multispectral aerial data. By providing a stable reflectance reference across visible and near-infrared spectral bands, the panel helps compensate for changing ambient lighting conditions. When used as part of a structured capture and processing workflow, it supports calibrated reflectance outputs suitable for professional analysis. This kit is intended for operators who rely on repeatable, analysis-ready multispectral data from Sentera sensors and compatible aircraft platforms.

Improved data consistency under changing lighting conditions
Capturing reference images of the calibrated reflectance panel immediately before and after a mission allows lighting variability to be accounted for during post-processing. This approach helps normalize multispectral data affected by sun angle changes, cloud cover, or shifting illumination. By anchoring imagery to a known reflectance reference, operators can improve consistency within a single dataset and across repeat missions. This is particularly valuable for applications requiring temporal comparison and quantitative analysis.
Calibrated multispectral outputs through FieldAgent Desktop processing
When included in a FieldAgent Desktop workflow, reflectance panel imagery is used during mosaic generation to produce calibrated multispectral outputs. The resulting five-band TIFF contains reflectance-calibrated data for each spectral band. This allows analysis to be based on standardized reflectance values rather than relative pixel intensity. For professional users, this supports more reliable analytics and improved comparability across surveys.
