Abstract: An approach to noninvasively and remotely detect the presence, location, and/or quantity of a target substance in a scene via a spectral imaging system comprising a spectral filter array and image capture array. For a chosen target substance, a spectral filter array is provided that is sensitive to selected wavelengths characterizing the electromagnetic spectrum of the target substance. Elements of the image capture array are optically aligned with elements of the spectral filter array to simultaneously capture spectrally filtered images. These filtered images identify the spectrum of the target substance. Program instructions analyze the acquired images to compute information about the target substance throughout the scene. A color-coded output image may be displayed on a smartphone or computing device to indicate spatial and quantitative information about the detected target substance. The system desirably includes a library of interchangeable spectral filter arrays, each sensitive to one or more target substances.

Abstract translation: 通过包括光谱滤波器阵列和图像捕获阵列的光谱成像系统非侵入性地远程地检测场景中目标物质的存在，位置和/或数量的方法。 对于所选择的目标物质，提供对表征目标物质的电磁光谱的选定波长敏感的光谱滤波器阵列。 图像捕获阵列的元件与光谱滤波器阵列的元件光学对准，以同时捕获经过频谱滤波的图像。 这些过滤图像识别目标物质的光谱。 程序指令分析所获取的图像以在整个场景中计算关于目标物质的信息。 颜色编码的输出图像可以显示在智能电话或计算设备上以指示关于检测到的目标物质的空间和定量信息。 该系统期望地包括可互换光谱滤光器阵列的库，每个对一种或多种目标物质敏感。

Abstract: An approach to remotely and noninvasively detect and evaluate the response of a plant or plant population to a man-made or natural treatment regime (e.g., herbicide, fungicide or fertilizer treatment) via spectral imaging methods and systems comprising the capture of a plurality of spectral images for a common plant scene, each associated with a selected wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum, the formulation of an index function from the spectral information indicative of the plant response over time, and the assessment of mathematical parameters quantifying the time-varying plant response to the treatment regime. The plant response to a treatment regime may be quantified in illustrative embodiments in a fraction of the time previously required by many conventional approaches. Applying varying herbicide dosages to segments of the same plant population enables easy determination of a dose-response curve.
