A3 Edge CIR Camera

A3 Edge CIR Camera

Based on the industry-leading A3 series, the A3 CIR Aerial Camera System captures and processes high resolution RGB and NIR imagery two times faster than other systems. A3 CIR is ideal for agriculture, forestry and land management applications.

Largest Footprint
With up to 78,000 pixels across flight track, A3 presents by far the largest footprint of CIR cameras available in the market.

Superior High Resolution NIR Imagery
A3 Edge CIR (color-IR) provides near-infrared imagery (NIR) in combination with high resolution natural color imagery. The native resolution of the NIR imagery is identical to the natural color imagery resolution. No pan-sharpening is applied.

Compact & Easy to Install
A3 CIR delivers high performance in a compact package (50 x 60 x 60 cm).

Fastest Processing
The A3 LightSpeed processing suite produces high end 4-band products in the fastest fully-automatic workflow. LightSpeed can be run by a single operator, significantly reducing operational costs.
