A company called Sentera, claims to bring game-changing aerial data-capture capabilities to the industry with the revolutionary Omni™ Quad-Rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The Omni naturally partners with a gimbaled Sentera Double 4K Sensor – creating an easy-to-use, precise UAV package for the Inspection, Survey and Mapping, and Agriculture industries. Kris Poulson offered me an interesting perspective on drones. Empowering users to collect precise data from obscure angles, an Omni + Double 4K Sensor package simultaneously captures macro and micro data and provides the user with true distortion-free imagery. The little-to-no vibration construction of the Omni, plus the Double 4K sensor ensures distortion-free imagery is collected, which translates into users easily stitching images together with any standard stitching tool. They will never need to worry about stitching failure due to data distortion. Sentera's software solutions are enabling users to fly and capture precise data, and use that data to create crop health maps, and so much more.

Sentera's offering enables customers to access revenue-driving analytics, consuming additional services on-demand while keeping the control of data and analysis in the customer's hands.

Some of the enhancements include:

• Simple Field Splitting: Quickly divide fields or parcels of land that need special attention

• Easy Image Omission: Easily exclude imagery that is irrelevant or out of a field boundary

• Enhanced Color Mapping: Efficiently distinguish between healthy and stressed plants with more vibrant and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) color maps Wizard

• Autonomous Flight Feature: Autonomously fly a DJI INSPIRE, PHANTOM 4, or PHANTOM 3 drone with an iOS smart device, ensuring the appropriate sideslip and overlap is captured for perfect images

• Battery Swap Feature: Plan as many acres of flight as you have batteries. AgVault Mobile will note the precise location where the drone left for a battery swap, resuming image capture from exactly where it left off
