# Introduction

Reflectance Panel Introduction

A reflectance panel has known spectral properties and can be used to convert imagery to reflectance values. The process of converting imagery into reflectance values allows for time series comparisons of imagery because it normalizes the data for different lighting conditions.

The reflectance panel is an optional component for the 6X sensor. The reflectance panel is a white balance card used to calibrate 6X images by measuring the reflectance of the card across the spectrum of light captured by the sensor (for example, red, green, blue, near infrared, and/or red edge bands).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.senterasensors.com/home/6x-series-sensors-user-guide/reflectance-panel/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
