摘要 |
The present invention relates to a ground truth monitoring system for continuous agricultural stage evaluations. The system of the present invention is comprised of (a) at least one spectral data acquisition sensor unit (which is directed through at least one optical assembly toward a plant part monitoring target site), (b) at least one optical assembly for each sensor unit (and the optical assembly is at least one optical fiber or at least one lens or a combination thereof) and the optical assembly is connected to the sensor unit, (c) means for affixing the optical assembly in proximity to the target site, (d) a data transfer conduit (connected at one end to each sensor unit and at the other end to a data processing unit), and (e) the data processing unit wherein data from sensor units is normalized against species specific calibration standards.
