SEQUOIA PRESENTATION Sequoia consists of a multispectral sensor camera and a sunshine sensor, both integrated into Parrot Bluegrass. Sequoia was designed specifically for agriculture, based on three main demands: excellent precision, minimal size and weight, optimal ease of use.
MULTISPECTRAL SENSOR Green sensor Red-edge sensor Red sensor RGB sensor Near InfraRed sensor 4 x 1.2 megapixel monochrome sensors collect data, as pictures, in discrete spectral bands. 16 megapixel RGB photo sensor with rolling shutter. Other multispectral sensor features: • Inertial measurement unit; • 64 GB internal memory; • Magnetometer.
' fih44d 550 nm wavelength, 40 nm bandwidth Definition: 1.2 Mpx 660 nm wavelength, 40 nm bandwidth Definition: 1.
1@@,t,Q 735 nm wavelength, 10 nm bandwidth Definition: 1.2 Mpx Near lnfraRed 790 nm wavelength, 40 nm bandwidth Definition: 1.
SUNSHINE SENSOR The sunshine S€nsor is used to match each image taken by the multispectral sensor, to the light available when it was taken. This enables the comparison of images over a full flight, ,despite variations in available light during the flight. The sunshine sensor is integrated into the top part of the drone, facing the sky. ~ Parrot recommends using the SD card provided with Sequoia. Performance is not guaranteed with other SD cards. Refer to the Iist of compatible SD cards on my.
PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS REGULATIONS • • • • .Parrot Bluegrass must be used strictly in compliance with current local' regulations. The places where it is used must be suitable for manoeuvring in order to ensure the continuous safety of people, animals and property. It may not be permitted to use Parrot Bluegrass in certain public places (e.g. train stations, airports, etc.) or on public roads. The pilot must, at all times, maintain visual contact with Parrot Bluegrass and control its trajectory.
• diameter of clear space for your Parrot Bluegrass to take off and land. Check that the flight area has no ' obstacle that might interfere with flight phases or prevent visual contact. Make sure the flight altitude programmed in ParrotFields (relative to take-off point) is sufficient to avoid obstacles in the surrounding area. PARROT BLUEGRASS • • • Make sure the Parrot Bluegrass propel lers are properly mounted and secured. Make sure the Parrot Bluegrass battery is charged.
