MAIA M2 – Multispectral Modular Camera
MAIA M2 is the new lightest and smallest modular multispectral camera fully customizable by the user, according to his needs of multispectral survey applications.
MAIA M2 can be equipped with a large portfolio of VIS-NIR bandpass filters.
The camera module is based on a double global shutter CMOS sensor with 8/12 bits resolution, automatic exposure with selectable target value. Lenses are factory geometrically calibrated.
Each module has stand-alone capability with external trigger and strobe or free run mode. Several inputs/outputs for external devices interfacing are available, such as trigger, strobe, serial port, USB and two aux port.
Module has very small size and low weight, the lowest values in the market.
Multi-module management, up to 3 different modules based on different couples of sensors and filters, is available by using the external controller.
Multispectral raw images and parameters are stored in a removable SD card, and can be also downloaded via USB and they are ready then for MultiCam Stitcher Pro, the MAIA images pre-processing software.

MAIA M2 Custom Bandpass Filters
MAIA M2 can be equipped with a large portfolio of VIS-NIR bandpass filters. The following selected filters are available in stock; for other specific bands, we are available to respond to your requests after consulting with our supplier
MAIA M2 Pre-selected Bandpass Filters Pair
The MAIA M2 single module can be composed using a pair of available band-pass filters. The choice of the pre-selected filter pairs will be made according to the most widely used multispectral indexes with two single bands, or on the basis of the aim of the multispectral survey.
MAIA M2 combination of modules
The following table shows some combinations of 2 or more MAIA M2 modules, useful to allow the calculation of many of the main multispectral indexes.
