Planteye F500: Combine 3D and Multsipectral Information in One Sensor

PlantEye is a high-resolution 3D laser scanner that computes a robust and validated set of morphological plant parameters fully automatically. A core feature of PlantEye is that it can be operated in full sunlight without any restrictions - crucial for plant phenotyping under field conditions or if you follow a “sensor-to-plant-concept”. Phenospex has now developed a new sensor generation, that combines the actual features of PlantEye on the fly with a 7-channel multispectral camera in the range between 400 – 900nm. This unique hardware-based sensor fusion concept allows us to deliver spectral information for each data point of the plant in X, Y, Z-direction and we compute parameters like NDVI, color index and many other vegetation indices. This new sensor generation opens a wide range of new possibilities in plant phenotyping and increases it´s efficiency.
