1Introduction
Welcome to the 6X Multispectral Sensor Reflectance Panel User Guide. This user guide is designed to
provide documentation for people who will use 6X on a professional basis. This guide is targeted to
users with an understanding of multispectral imaging and image processing.
2Reflectance Panel Overview
A reflectance panel has known spectral properties and can be used to convert imagery to reflectance
values under different lighting conditions. The process of converting imagery into reflectance values
allows for time series comparisons of imagery because it normalizes the data for different lighting
conditions.
Note: Reflectance panel images should be captured pre-flight, but if you forget,
the images can be captured post-flight also.
3Capture Reflectance Panel Imagery
The steps to capture reflectance panel imagery include attaching the sensor to a laptop, navigating in a
web browser to the 6x configuration page, and capturing the reflectance panel images.
3.1 Connect to Laptop
To connect to a laptop:
1. Attach 6X sensor and Incident Light Sensor (ILS) sensor onto the drone, as shown in Figure 1.

4. Perform a compass calibration or other adjustments as necessary before recording reflectance panel
images.
3.3 Capture Reflectance Panel Images
To record reflectance panel images:
1. In a clear area, open the reflectance panel, only holding it by the edges, and place it on a flat surface
or the ground near the drone, as shown in Figure 8.
