Crop growth monitoring (Phenotyping)
Phenotyping is observing and measuring the growth status of plants and the effects of the growing environment on them.
It's used as the data to determine harvest timing and to breed disease-free crop varieties.
What is the method to automate measurements that were traditionally determined by humans by looking and touching?

Case Study Digest
| Challenges/Issues | "VS-H-IRC" Evaluation |
|---|---|
When photographing plants to monitor their growth status, the multispectral camera that captures images at wavelengths from visible light to near-infrared light is used in order to visualize the content of substances. Conventional lenses tend to be out of focus for each wavelength. That’s why the performance of the multispectral camera could not be demonstrated and stable detection could not be achieved. |
There is a need for a lens that suppressed focus shift at different wavelengths from visible light to NIR. In addition, in order to accommodate different crop sizes, it is necessary to maintain high resolution from infinity to close range. VS-H-IRC not only suppresses focus shift, but also supports the small pixel sizes of recent years, resulting in the ability to maximize the phenotyping method. |
