An important part of plant science is understanding how plants respond to their environment, so monitoring plant phenotypes is of great importance. CD BioSciences can help customers around the world observe all aspects of plant performance, including size and shape, root structure, growth rate under specific conditions, and more. These data can be used to develop improved and sustainable crops.
Suitable for: All crops when measurement of canopy temperature at a broad scale is required.
Research has shown canopy temperature to be an excellent method of measuring crop stress through stomatal responses, and as such infrared imaging is becoming a popular technology within the crop science community.The imaging platform consists of a fully STC certified helipod that can be fitted to any R44 helicopter. The pod carries an advanced imaging payload consisting of a high resolution FLIR SC645 Infrared camera and 30MP RGB camera, with a fully integrated IMU and GPS.The imaging system is controlled by an onboard industrial PC computer, operated through a touchscreen monitor from within the cockpit. Provided with the imaging service is the ChopIt tool, a high throughput processing pipeline developed in-house by the HRPPC team.Typical applicationsThermal imaging using airborne thermography is an established technology for phenotyping plants for differences in stomatal behavior. Canopy temperature is a strong indicator of how well a plant is managing its water use through stomatal
