Calibrating MicaSense RedEdge Imagery

I have been collecting imagery from a MicaSense RedEdge camera, a multispectral camera made for attaching to sUAS. https://www.micasense.com/rededge/.

This camera also comes with a calibration target that I took pictures of before each of my sUAS flights ,and the calibration target has a laboratory measured reflectance value for each camera band.

However, now I am struggling with how to use the calibration target to convert the DN of the imagery to reflectance value so that the imagery can be compared between different times.  I also have access to information on the date and time of day that the imagery was taken, as well as solar irradiance values for each image.

  • Hello Kelsey. There are a number of articles in our knowledge base that can help. For instance, this one:

    Easiest way to get reflectance compensated outputs is using Atlas. Pix4D Mapper will also work using the proper workflow.

    How do calibrated reflectance panels improve my data?
    What are panels? Every object absorbs and reflects a certain amount of light. The amount of light reflected and absorbed by an object (also referred…
