The Power of Fusing 3D with Multispec

3D assessment of plants became a commonly used technology in plant phenotyping to measure morphological and architectural features of plants. Although, 3D sensors such as PlantEye can be the workhorse for every phenotyping platform, it still lacks the ability to measure changes in color or other spectral information that are an important indicator for the plants physiological status. Measurement concept of 3D light section scanners. A laser line (red) is project vertically on the plant. A camera (blue) captures the reflection of the laser line under a certain angle. The image of the camera can be seen on the right. Based on the displacement of the laser line in the image the height of each point along the line can be calculated. Hyperspectral sensors gained rising attention in plant phenotyping as they deliver a great insight into the spectral absorbance of plants. Yet, working with hyperspectral cameras remains a computationally challenging- and ...
