MAPIR Multispectral Imaging

SeeSense is the master European distributer and reseller of the MAPIR range of environmental monitoring solutions.
These use multispectral imaging to measure changes in how light reflects off of objects such as plants and soil. The spectrum of light that is reflected is known as the material’s reflective spectral signature, and can tell you an awful lot about the object from afar (remote sensing).

We carry comprehensive stock and can help you decide on the optimal configuration for your multispectral imaging requirement.

“See The Invisible”

Multispectral imaging helps make a substantial difference in agricultural decision making by providing more timely and accurate information for critical input to cropping system models or integrated assessment models.

The Mapir system is a very cost effect way of capturing a crop’s reflective spectral signature.

There are three of hardware required to accurately measure reflective light.

–Multispectral cameras. Mapir offer two ranges of camera, their basic Survey3 range, Survey3 Pro and more advanced Lattice camera systems.

– Light Sensors. Mapir currently offers a Bluetooth modular spectroradiometer and aerodynamic PPK data logger containing GNSS (GPS) and IMU position sensor.

– Reference targets. MAPIR Reflectance Calibration Ground Targets are used to obtain precise, automated and repeatable data collection to accurately assess current and condition changes over long periods of time. These are available in three sizes including special painted waterproof versions.

– Accessories. We stock a wide range of supplementary equipment including mounts for static, hand held and drone use. The equipment can be used in many different ways so we have brackets, cables, housings, batteries, etc.

Mapir Cameras

The MAPIR SURVEY 3 is a compact and affordable multispectral imaging camera system for aerial and terrestrial use. It comprises a range of 6 filter and 2 lens angle options – Wide 87 degrees and Narrow 41 degrees.

They can either be attached to drones and UAV’s or deployed in a hand-held or static application providing high levels of spatial resolution and sampling frequency compared to alternate approaches.

MAPIR SURVEY 3 PRO encloses the same camera in a weatherproof housing and can be deployed for long term time-lapse multispectral imaging. This housing incorporates an advanced GPS / GNSS receiver plus an optional focus adjust mainly for when the system is deployed for close up work.

A waterproof connector allow you to attach a cable to external features such as PWM trigger, etc.

These systems includes an advanced* external GPS receiver to provide instant geo-tagging with every captured image. These can be processed on MAPIR, Pix4D, Metashape, DroneDeploy, One Button, C3D, MapsMadeEasy, and other software.

A comprehensive range of Mapir hardware is stocked by SeeSesense including drone mounts for attaching to many popular drones and UAV’s.

*SeeSense include the ADVANCED GPS receiver with all Mapir Survey3 cameras as standard.

Mapir Lattice Camera

The NEW Mapir LATTICE camera array is a modular waterproof multi-multispectral camera solution with auto exposure and calibration features.

LATTICE can be configured to operate an array of between one and four different 3.2MP cameras with a choice of RGB, RGN, OCN or NGB filter attached to an 87 or 41 degree lens.

Unlike Survey 3, these cameras are IP67 rated (dust-tight and submersible to 1m), and all rear connectors — M12 X-coded GigE Ethernet (PoE) and M8 trigger sync — are waterproof.

What’s Included

A complete array includes the LATTICE camera module(s), 1/4-20 mounting thread, aluminium heatsinks for passive thermal management, and a ventilated cowl that blocks direct sunlight while maintaining airflow. This keeps the camera cool even in sustained outdoor deployments. An M12-to-RJ45 Ethernet cable is sold separately and required to connect to standard network infrastructure.

Build Your Lattice Sensor

Choose which camera modules best suit your application, appropriate LATTICE array housing, and ethernet cable. Camera modules are assembled into an array with built in heatsinks, UV-resistant ventilated cowl, and a 1/4-20 tripod mount. It is supplied fully assembled and pre-tested.

Future Proof

A LATTICE camera configuration does not have to be permanent. They can be swapped in the field as requirements change, so the sensor you order today can be reconfigured for a different application tomorrow. Upgrade or change the set up simply by purchasing a different module.

Mapir Diffuse Reflectance Calibration Targets

When any multispectral imaging used in conjunction with a MAPIR Reflectance Calibration Ground Target it is possible to obtain precise, automated and repeatable data collections to accurately assess current and condition changes over long periods of time.

The MAPIR T4-R50 and T4-R125 diffuse reflectance calibration target are an essential component for any multi-spectral mapping solution.
We can also offer PRO targets which are waterproof being made of specially painted aluminium sheets rather than standard felt materials.

For emphasis – all of these reflectance calibration targets enable survey results to have REPEATABILITY by calibrating the exposure of the images captured to match the known exposure settings of the target.

PLEASE NOTE
These targets can be used in any multi-spectral mapping solution and not just Mapir so can be used as an essential addition to other proprietary systems.

Mapir Drone Mounts & Accessories

A comprehensive range of Mapir drone mounts and accessories are available from SeeSense stock. These can be attached to popular makes such as DJI and 3DR plus a range of generic mounts.

Reflectance calibration ground targets, GPS receivers*, PWM trigger and USB Power / FVP / USB cables are also available along with lens protectors, battery chargers and spare batteries.

*SeeSense include the ADVANCED GPS receiver with all cameras as standard.
