It is important to us that you are as informed as possible when commissioning a UAS survey to make sure you know exactly what you can get out of it. You can find the answers to some frequently asked questions below…
Q: What is multispectral and how does it work?
In brief, multispectral uses a sensor array which collects images at different wavelengths. These images can be processed to identify the health of plants on the surface. Since plant health can be influenced by sub-surface features, multispectral surveys can show where these features are by the appearance of the plants in the processed image. Therefore, archaeology which doesn’t leave a topographic footprint may still be revealed by UAS multispectral mapping.
