Abstract

Hyperspectral cameras are a key enabling technology in precision agriculture, biodiversity monitoring, and ecological research. Consequently, these applications are fueling a growing demand for devices that are suited to widespread deployment in such environments. Current hyperspectral cameras, however, require significant investment in post-processing, and rarely allow for live capture assessments. Here, we introduce a novel hyperspectral camera that combines live spectral data and high-resolution imagery. This camera is suitable for integration with robotics and automated monitoring systems. We explore the utility of this camera for applications including chlorophyll detection and live display of spectral indices relating to plant health. We discuss the performance of this novel technology and associated hyperspectral analysis methods to support an ecological study of grassland habitats at Wytham Woods, UK.
