Overview

A Handheld Agri-Tech Revolution

The PhenoCheck camera is built upon a snapshot, video rate, High-Definition spectral imager which acquires six spectral bands spanning the 400-1000nm spectral range. The camera comes integrated with a specially designed LED illumination system for enabling both diffuse reflectance and fluorescence modes of operation. The camera’s operating spectral bands and imaging modes have been carefully selected as the most critical ones for effectively addressing a broad spectrum of crop imaging applications.

The PhenoCheck imager is interfaced with tablet PCs via a single cable transmitting both power and data. It is a low power system capable of working continuously for more than four hours, powered only with a tablet PC’s battery. All camera operations are controlled through a touch-screen graphical user interface. All images and maps are captured instantly and simultaneously with a single touch on the PC’s touch screen.

PhenoCheck imager package comes with a standard software platform, integrating ultrafast and efficient spectral α classification algorithms for calculating and real-time displaying Vegetation Index heat maps, spectral classification maps, spectral and colour images in both diffuse reflectance and fluorescence imaging modes.

Value Proposition

A Low-Cost Indispensable Agri-Tech Innovation

Large area remote hyperspectral sensing has been proven as an indispensable tool for monitoring aerobic and anaerobic stress conditions in plants. However, it is generally operated by specialized service providers and though expensive and complicated installations, including either satellite or airborne platforms.

The PhenoCheck hand-held imager addresses the unmet need for a portable, high-end instrument to be operated in hands of agronomists, farmers and researchers. It allows the performance of on-the-spot and in situ monitoring of crops, fruit ripening and agro-product quality assessment.

The PhenoCheck Camera comprises an indispensable tool in hands of agronomists, plant pathologists, farmers, analytical scientists etc., for obtaining and maintaining direct control the state of health of crops and for selecting, optimizing and evaluating treatment options.

The PhenoCheck camera is an affordable video rate spectral imager offering macro-scale reflectance and fluorescence spectral analysis and mapping. It detects and maps effects on plant color and spectral phenotypes, of pathogens, viruses, pests, water and nutrient stress.

Applications

The PhenoCheck camera is “a lab in the field” for the in-situ monitoring of crops in farms, greenhouses and labs. It is a powerful tool for analyzing plants, fruits, flowers, seeds etc., offering objective and quantitative information for anaerobic and aerobic stress conditions. It also offers an objective means for the assessment of fruit ripening, allowing the prediction of the optimal harvest date.
