Data Import into FieldAgent

Generally, any camera that produces geo-tagged JPGs or TIFFs can be imported, viewed, and managed in FieldAgent. If FieldAgent is unable to locate sufficient EXIF tag information in the imager, QuickTiles may not be produced. This includes Sentera sensors and most DJI sensors, including the Mavic 3 Enterprise.

If you are a camera OEM interested in having FieldAgent support your products, please contact our sales team.

Note: 6X Multispectral Imagery in FieldAgent

FieldAgent Desktop supports importing Sentera 6X multispectral imagery, but requires stitching into 5-band mosaic to be viewed in FieldAgent Desktop. At this time, FieldAgent Web does not support importing or viewing multispectral imagery from the Sentera 6X.
