Remote Sensing Sensors & Imaging

Capturing the Environment Beyond What We Can See

i4Geo maintains advanced remote sensing sensors for collecting detailed information about terrain, vegetation, infrastructure, and environmental conditions across multiple regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Our imaging capabilities include LiDAR, multispectral, hyperspectral, RGB, and thermal sensing, supporting projects ranging from detailed 3D mapping to vegetation monitoring, environmental assessment, and thermal analysis.

Our Remote Sensing Sensors
L3

DJI Zenmuse L3

High-Performance Aerial LiDAR Mapping

The DJI Zenmuse L3 integrates LiDAR and imaging capabilities for efficient collection of detailed three-dimensional spatial data from compatible RPAS platforms.

Applications:
LiDAR mapping • Terrain modelling • Vegetation structure • 3D point clouds • Large-area surveys

L1

DJI Zenmuse L1

Integrated LiDAR & RGB Mapping

The DJI Zenmuse L1 combines LiDAR with RGB imaging and positioning technologies to support detailed aerial mapping and 3D data collection.

Applications:
Point-cloud generation • Terrain mapping • Forestry & vegetation • Infrastructure mapping • 3D reconstruction

sent

Sentera 6X Multispectral + RGB Sensor

High-Resolution Multispectral Imaging

The Sentera 6X combines multispectral and high-resolution RGB imaging to support detailed analysis of vegetation and surface conditions.

Applications:
Vegetation monitoring • Crop analysis • Multispectral mapping • Vegetation indices • Environmental research

red

MicaSense RedEdge-MX

Multispectral Remote Sensing

The MicaSense RedEdge-MX captures imagery across multiple spectral bands, enabling quantitative analysis of vegetation and other surface characteristics.

Applications:
Vegetation indices • Plant health assessment • Environmental monitoring • Land-cover analysis • Research applications

hypersensor

CHNSpec FS60-CL Hyperspectral Camera

Detailed Hyperspectral Imaging

The FS60-CL captures information across numerous narrow spectral bands, supporting detailed spectral characterization and discrimination of materials and environmental targets.

Applications:
Hyperspectral mapping • Material identification • Vegetation characterization • Spectral classification • Research

For this one, before putting detailed wavelength range/band-count specs online, I’d verify the exact configuration of i4Geo’s unit.

DJI H30

DJI Zenmuse H30T

Multi-Sensor Thermal & Visual Imaging

The Zenmuse H30T combines thermal and high-resolution visual imaging capabilities for detailed observation, inspection, and environmental monitoring from compatible DJI RPAS platforms.

Applications:
Thermal mapping • Environmental monitoring • Infrastructure inspection • Search & observation • Detailed visual imaging

H20

DJI Zenmuse H20T

Integrated Thermal & Visual Sensing

The Zenmuse H20T provides thermal and visual imaging capabilities within an integrated RPAS payload for mapping, monitoring, inspection, and research applications.

Applications:
Thermal imaging • Infrastructure assessment • Environmental surveys • Monitoring • High-resolution observation

SPECIM

SPECIM V10E Hyperspectral Imaging System

Hyperspectral Imaging & Spectral Analysis

The SPECIM V10E hyperspectral imaging system captures spatial and spectral information simultaneously, enabling detailed investigation of spectral differences across objects and surfaces.

Applications:
Hyperspectral imaging • Spectral characterization • Material discrimination • Research imaging • Image classification

Combining Multiple Types of Remote Sensing Data

No single sensor captures every characteristic of an environment. By combining complementary sensing technologies, i4Geo can investigate both the physical structure and spectral properties of landscapes and other targets.

Our team can integrate LiDAR, RGB, multispectral, hyperspectral, and thermal observations with GNSS, field measurements, GIS, and other geospatial datasets.
