Dear all
We own a sequoia cameras, but I don’t know whether it is a Sequoia or a Sequoia+.
Can anyone help me how to tell them apart?
Also, is there any difference between the two? (apart from the claim that the + version should give absolute reflectance values without a reflectance target)
On the Parrot Website I can’t find any technical document for the Sequoia+ (?!) but only for the Sequoia. So is it simply marketing?
Thanks a lot for your answer

Hi Michi,
thank you for your question.
The main difference is that the Sequoia+ provides absolute reflectance values without reflectance targets. The standard Sequoia needs the shot of the target in order to obtain the same.
You could check the EXIF metadata in the images and look for the Exif.Photo.MakerNote tag. If the value is 1, then the camera is Sequoia+. If this tag does not exist, then it is a Sequoia (non +).
Hi Daniele
Super, thanks a lot. I will check the EXIF data then to find out.
Best
Michi
Hi Michi,
I’m happy to hear that you have found my information helpful.
Have a great day.

hi. how I can check meta data and version ? I have a sequoia and don’t know + or no.
my RGB exif version is 0.210
Hi @mahdi.es66,
You can use any online EXIF viewer (search “online EXIF viewer” in a search engine).
If you don’t want to upload your images to the Internet, you can use locally installed software such as Exiv2 (https://exiv2.org/).
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Daniele

this is my sequia NIR image . can you find it? plus or no? tnx
Hi @mahdi.es66
The Exif.Photo.MakerNote tag cannot be found in your image, therefore you are using a Sequoia (non +) model.
Also, I suggest upgrading your firmware for better performance. Please get in touch with Parrot for that.
Kind regards,
Daniele
Tnx 
In rgb image I can see it.it’s different?
Hi @mahdi.es66
