How Claru Delivers This Data
Claru operates drone collection campaigns across agricultural regions, capturing RGB and thermal imagery over diverse crop types and growth stages. Thermal data reveals irrigation stress invisible to RGB cameras.
Frequently Asked Questions
15+ crop types including corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, vineyards, orchards, leafy greens, and specialty crops across different climate zones.
Currently RGB and thermal. Multispectral (NDVI) collection is available on request for specific projects.
Primary collection at 20-50m AGL for crop-level detail, with 100-200m flights for field-level coverage.
