Harvesting at the Right Time: Precisely Determined with HSI
Monitoring systems for fields, plantations, and greenhouses that assess the ripeness of crops enable optimal planning of harvesting and sales. Fully automated harvesters that can distinguish ripe fruits and vegetables from unripe ones also offer great potential for the agriculture of the future. This allows for selective harvesting or direct sorting of the produce.
Such solutions are made possible by embedded vision systems equipped with high-resolution, high-speed hyperspectral sensors. These sensors record up to 150 spectral channels. This data can be used to determine the degree of ripeness — noncontact and even through leaves and peels.
Photonfocus’s embedded vision solutions offer the highest sensor resolution, precision, and speed for these applications. They can be used for both terrestrial surveillance and aerial observation. These application-specific sensors are space-saving, rugged, and designed for use in harsh industrial environments. They can be easily integrated into complete systems or used as ready-to-use systems.
