摘要： A road surface detection system for a vehicle includes an optical emitter disposed at the vehicle and configured to emit a beam of light downward and forward of the vehicle. A receiver is disposed at the vehicle so as to receive light emitted by the optical emitter that is scattered or reflected from the road surface. The receiver includes a prism and an imager, and the prism refracts the light so that the imager captures received light that is refracted by the prism. A control includes a processor operable to process image data captured by the imager. The control, responsive to processing of image data captured by the imager, determines spectral characteristics of materials present on the road surface. The control may determine the type of material present on the road surface by determining the parts of the spectrum absorbed by the material.

摘要： An agricultural harvesting system has an agricultural harvesting machine with at least one agricultural working unit that performs agricultural work, and an adjusting unit for adjusting the parameters of the particular working unit, a conveyor channel for a crop stream generated in a harvesting process by harvesting a field of crop, and an NIR sensor unit containing an NIR sensor which is configured for detecting constituents and/or properties of the crop stream. The crop stream in the conveyor channel can be guided past the NIR sensor. An on-line data processing unit controls the particular working unit, and generates control data on the basis of crop stream data which have been generated by the NIR sensor unit and correspond to the constituents and/or properties detected by the NIR sensor, and the adjusting unit carries out a parameter adjustment of the particular working unit on the basis of the control data.

摘要： An imaging apparatus includes a camera with a solid-state sensor and an illumination selector. The illumination selector is arranged for optical coupling with the sensor and arranged for communicating electromagnetic radiation within a shortwave infrared narrowband to the sensor. The shortwave infrared narrowband includes a peak absorption or peak reflection wavelength of moisture to infrared illumination to image moisture disposed within a solar cell array.

摘要： An optical grain evaluation device is provided with: a light-projecting part 58 through which light from a light source is projected to grain; a light-receiving part 59 on which light transmitted through the grain is incident; a grain evaluation unit 60 configured to evaluate the grain based on information relating to the received light; and a shielding part SH that separates an area between the light source 50 and the light-projecting part 59 from an area between the light-receiving part 59 and the grain evaluation unit 60, and prevents light from the light-projecting part 58 from directly entering the light-receiving part 59. The area between the light source 50 and the light-projecting part 58, and the area between the light-receiving part 59 and the grain evaluation unit 60 are configured, over the entirety of the areas, as air transmission areas in which light is transmitted through air.

摘要： In a water content evaluation method, when water content of a part of a plant is evaluated, a white reference substrate (background material) is disposed so as to cover a back surface of a leaf of plant. A first beam source radiates a near infrared beam (reference beam) with a wavelength of 905 nm that has a characteristic of tending not to be absorbed in water toward leaf. A second beam source radiates a near infrared beam (measuring beam) with a wavelength of 1550 nm that has a characteristic of tending to be absorbed in water toward the leaf. Threshold level setter/water content index detector calculates a water content index of one leaf that is total sum Σ Ln (I905/I1550) of the reflection intensity rate at all irradiation positions of the leaf based on a reflection light of a reference beam and a reflection light of a measuring beam that are reflected on all irradiation positions of the leaf.

摘要： An optical sensor is arranged in an indentation of a dust line, the indentation being equipped with at least one gas inlet nozzle for removing the dust from the optical sensor. Dust is transported through the dust line. An optical property of the dust is measured using at least one optical sensor arranged in an indentation of the dust line, and the dust is then removed from the optical sensor by blowing in air using the at least one gas inlet nozzle arranged in the indentation.

摘要： A light guide member for an object detection apparatus is devised. The object detection apparatus includes a light source unit, and a detection unit for detecting an object adhered on a surface of a light translucent member based on change of light quantity of reflection light received from the light translucent member. The light guide member includes an incident face where the light exiting from the light source unit enters; a detection face where the exiting light exits to a rear face of the light translucent member and the reflection light reflected from the light translucent member enters; an exiting face where the reflection light exits to the detection unit; and a light guiding portion through which the exiting light and the reflection light proceed. The detection face has curvature corresponding to curvature of the light translucent member.
