Integration of the multispectral camera into a UAV

In order to evaluate the integration of the Parrot Sequoia multispectral camera in the DJI Phantom 3 Advanced, we have flown over a newly exploited Txakoli plantation in the municipality of Orio.
In this way, the multispectral chamber that until now was used coupled to a light aircraft, can be used in the UAV, offering an autonomy of approximately 15 hectares per flight.
The great advantage of this camera integration is that with a single flight we can obtain RGB and multispectral images at the same time. It is true that the Parrot Sequoia camera has an integrated RGB camera, but this does not offer enough quality to be used for cartographic purposes, an aspect that the camera integrated in the DJI Phantom 3 Advanced is capable of covering.
Some images obtained in the study of the Txakoli plantation:
