Build Your Sensor

The LATTICE L3 is a three-module linear array — three LATTICE 3.2MP camera modules mounted side by side on a shared frame with heatsinks, a UV-resistant ventilated cowl, and a 1/4-20 tripod mount. Each module is independently selectable: choose any combination of lens and filter for Modules 1, 2, and 3 using the dropdowns above.

Every L3 ships fully assembled, synchronized, and tested. Modules can be swapped in the field as your requirements evolve.

Why Three Modules?

Each LATTICE module captures 3 spectral bands. A three-module array gives you up to 9 bands, captured simultaneously across the same scene — enough spectral depth to go well beyond basic vegetation indexing.

With 9 channels you can run more advanced indices that require narrow red-edge, orange, or blue bands alongside the standard red and NIR combination. You can compute multiple indices in parallel from a single capture — NDVI from one module, NDRE from a second, and retain a true-color RGB reference from a third — without any compromise on spectral purity or spatial resolution. This is particularly valuable in precision agriculture, where chlorophyll content, canopy water status, and visual crop scouting are all needed from the same dataset.

You can also mix lens focal lengths across modules — combining wide and narrow fields of view in a single synchronized capture for simultaneous overview and detail.

What's Included

The L3 array includes three LATTICE camera modules mounted on a shared frame with integrated 1/4-20 tripod thread, aluminum heatsinks for passive thermal management, and a ventilated cowl for UV and weather protection. All three camera modules are sealed to IP67, and all rear connectors — M12 X-coded GigE Ethernet (PoE) and M8 trigger sync — are waterproof.

All three modules connect to a single sync harness, ensuring simultaneous capture with less than 100μs offset between sensors. The global shutter on each module freezes the entire frame, enabling pixel-accurate band alignment even on moving platforms.

That 3-camera sync cable harness is included with every L3, so the modules arrive wired for synchronized triggering. Each module still requires its own M12-to-RJ45 Ethernet cable for data and power — add those above, and explore more accessories here.

Choose Your Configuration

Select a lens and filter for each module independently:

Lens options: The L87 wide lens (3.5mm, f/2.8, 90° horizontal) covers broad scenes for area monitoring, canopy coverage, and aerial imaging. The L41 narrow lens (9.6mm, f/3.0, 41° horizontal) offers tighter framing for targeted measurement at greater standoff distances.

Filter options: An M3C color module carries a 3-channel filter set. RGN (Red, Green, NIR) is the most common choice for vegetation indices like NDVI. OCN (Orange, Cyan, NIR) provides an alternative band combination for certain crop and soil analyses. NGB (NIR, Green, Blue) is suited for water quality and coastal monitoring. RGB captures standard visible color for reference imagery and visual inspection. An M3M mono module carries one narrowband filter instead, chosen from 23 options between 385nm and 988nm.

Common L3 configurations: RGB + RGN + OCN — the standard build, and how most L3 arrays are ordered. A true-color record, the NDVI workhorse, and the alternate orange/cyan set: 9 channels spanning visible through NIR. RGB + RGN + one M3M mono — spend the third bay on a single narrowband channel instead of the OCN set, usually F450 for blue or a red edge such as F725 for NDRE alongside your NDVI. RGN + OCN + NGB — maximum spectral diversity across the color sets, for research work that does not need a true-color reference. RGB + RGN + RGB(L41) — index data plus true-color at two focal lengths for visual scouting at two scales.

Scales When You Do

Need the maximum spectral coverage? Step up to a LATTICE L4 (12 channels), or to the larger open frames — the L5, L6, L6V, L8V, and L9 — which carry 5 to 9 modules and up to 27 channels, and mix M3M monochrome modules in for narrowband depth beyond the four color filter sets. Need fewer bands at a lower cost? The L1 and L2 arrays cover 3- and 6-band applications. Every LATTICE array connects to the same Chloros processing pipeline — calibration targets, DAQ ambient light sensors, and Chloros+ automation features work identically across all array sizes.
