Human perception is not always accurate as the brain can play tricks on us, causing human error since we can't see specific light spectra and therefore, this article outlines how technology can help us reduce errors and collect the information we can't see by answering the following questions: ****What is Multispectral Imaging?** and **How do industries use Multispectral Analysis?** Keep reading to learn how you can **#ONEUPYOURBUSINESS**!

## WHAT IS MULTISPECTRAL IMAGING?

To briefly explain, Multispectral Imaging involves capturing data across two or more electromagnetic spectra, like infrared and ultraviolet, providing us with details that the human eye can't perceive.

[NASA](https://www.nasa.gov/ "National Aeronautics and Space Administration") developed Multispectral imaging, Detection, and Active Reflectance (MiDAR) to use for space-based imaging. You can learn more about MiDAR by clicking [here](https://ntts-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/t2p/prod/t2media/tops/pdf/TOP2-262.pdf "here").

## HOW DO INDUSTRIES USE MULTISPECTRAL ANALYSIS?

Multispectral Analysis is helpful to a whole range of industry sectors from farming to the military to even space. We mentioned in the above section how NASA uses it for space-based imagining. Below, we go into detail and discuss how multiple industries use and benefit from Multispectral Analysis:

- **Farming**: With Multispectral sensors attached to drones, farmers can maintain and manage the health of their land, most often referred to as Plant Health Analysis. Multispectral sensors are used to collect data, identify and pinpoint pests, infections, weeds, and specific areas that need fumigation and help farmers use fewer resources like fertiliser and irrigation. Multispectral Analysis for farmers can help keep crops healthy, increase yield, and keep up with the ever-growing population's food demand
- **Military**: Since Multispectral imaging can measure mid-wave infrared and long-wave infrared, it is used to monitor and track military targets, especially on local terrain that may be afar that enemies can take advantage of. Multispectral imaging is helpful in the military as it can locate explosives, spot enemy movements, identify hidden bunkers, etc.
- **Environmentalists**: Satellites or drones combined with Multispectral sensors can also collect information on the land that identifies change, trends and cycles. With the knowledge, analysts can determine farming production trends, environmental quality and the quality of the resources, helping in the fight against deforestation
- **Infrastructure**: Common issues when working with infrastructure is how the land can affect the surrounding areas. For example, is a tree going to grow into a powerline or block a road? The environment can play a big part in decision-making, and Multispectral Analysis can provide predictive maintenance to determine the growth rate of the different types of species and vegetation, identify the types of species, etc., to help prevent disastrous situations that can occur if they were not spotted early on
- **Healthcare**:  Multispectral imaging can determine the correct medicine and can allocate if any diseases or infections are present which may be hard to identify with the naked eye or other tools. The spectral imaging is also non-invasive, so it doesn't irritate the patient and is useful when which makes it helpful in checking out inflammation on the skin and burns
- **Construction and Property**: Frequent Multispectral Analysis inspections on gardens and landscapes can help manage and maintain them as you can gather data on if there are any pests, what is growing, the health of the plants and accurately predict the growth allowing you to make better-informed decisions and take pride in the garden knowing it is well looked after and maintained, making sure it's healthy.
- **Forensics**: At crime scenes, forensic teams can use Multispectral imaging to examine the evidence because it will not disturb or contaminate since no contact is needed, making it a valuable tool for analysing documents, fingerprints, inks, powders, bloodstains and residues

Learn all about Multispectral Analysis, as we explain what it is and how it can be valuable to multiple different industries such as Farming and Infrastructure.

Multispectral Analysis Explained

Since exploring the [benefits of implementing Multispectral Analysis into multiple industries](/blog/multispectral-analysis-explained/ "benefits of implementing Multispectral Analysis into multiple industries"), we will now look into what you should consider when choosing a company to inspect your land and assets by answering the following question: **What do you need to consider when getting a Multispectral Analysis for your business?** Keep reading to find how you can help you to **#ONEUPYOURBUSINESS**!

## WHAT DO YOU NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN GETTING A MULTISPECTRAL ANALYSIS FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

With its ability to capture several electromagnetic spectra (like ultraviolet and infrared), beyond what the human eye can see, a Multispectral analysis will save you money, reduce risks, increase your safety and improve your productivity.

In our previous article, [Multispectral Analysis](/blog/multispectral-analysis-explained/ "Multispectral Analysis"), we highlighted how it's a great way to retrieve information of land and assets to give you all the information you could need. Some examples are: determining the growth rate of an oak tree to prevent interference with powerlines or identifying any pests on your crops. Now, we look into what you need to consider when hiring a company to perform a Multispectral Analysis:

### 1. WHAT EQUIPMENT THE COMPANY USES
You don't have to be an expert yourself in technology, although it can be helpful to understand how a company conducts the inspections and what software and equipment they use. Knowing this information can help you determine if the results can be formatted to your specifications, giving an efficient workflow; nothing would be worse than paying for something you can even view. Also, doing a little research into the company's equipment can help you determine if the company is using industry-specific tools so you'll be getting the best possible high-quality results.

### 2. IF YOU CAN GET A FREE QUOTE
Quotes should be free as standard, and we advise getting a quote beforehand as then you'll know what to expect if the company can do what you are asking and allocate a price. Contacting the company for a quote is also a good chance for you to gauge the company to see if they know what they are talking about and be able to answer all the questions you may have

### 3. EXPLAINING IF THERE ARE ANY CHALLENGES OR RISKS
When obtaining a quote or hiring a company, it is good to be as transparent as possible and explain what you want to do and if any risks are involved. For instance, is the land you wish to have a Multispectral Analysis for hard to reach? Are there any obstructions? Understanding the risks and challenges will help the company know what to expect before getting an inspection and creating a risk assessment. It will also ensure that the company can safely perform the inspection and has the appropriate equipment. For instance, drones are an effective and cost-saving piece of cutting-edge equipment that prevents putting workers in dangerous situations. UAVs can quickly get up close and operate at different angles in different weather conditions, providing you with all the information that you need.

### 4. HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO COLLECT THE INFORMATION
How long it takes to collect information will depend on how much distance you want covering and what method the company uses. For example, if you are looking for quickness and efficiency, hiring a company that conducts a Multispectral Analysis with drones will be valuable to you. [Fixed-wing](/blog/what-are-fixed-wing-drones/ "fixed-wing") and [multi-rotor](/blog/what-are-multi-rotor-drones/ "multi-rotor") drones will deliver accurate results fast, covering more ground in less time than traditional surveying methods.

### 5. IF THE COMPANY IS LEGITIMATE
The last thing anyone wants is to discover they've been victims of a scam. Hence, it is crucial to do your due diligence and research if the company is a registered business and has the relevant qualifications and permissions to perform a Multispectral Analysis. For example, if you are hiring a drone company, they should prove that they can do commercial operations. It is also worth considering that the business has a Public Liability coverage of no less than £5million. Additionally, make sure that you get everything written in writing and read over the contract thoroughly to understand what you will be receiving payment methods and if you are covered with a warranty if anything goes wrong.

Discover what you need to consider before hiring a company to conduct a Multispectral Analysis to make sure your requirements will be met.
