Multispectral imaging systems
If a complete multispectral solution with controlled lighting is required, the multispectral MSIS systems are an ideal solution. The combination of multispectral camera, tuned high-power LEDs in a dustproof and waterproof housing together with an external control unit enables independent operation even in damp environments.
Due to the pulsed operation of the LEDs, both reflection and luminescence images are possible, and a combined measurement mode from both modes can also be configured.
Easy operation
In practical applications, the camera head can be mounted independently of the control unit using the mounting plate, for example on a robot arm in a greenhouse. Power is supplied either via the AC power supply unit or can be provided by a wide range of DC battery voltages. The control unit is connected by cable, after which a wide range of control options are available:
In the easiest case, the system is switched on via a button and recording is started directly via a start/stop button on the control unit. Real-time output takes place via the HDMI interface and the recordings are automatically written to the removable SD card at up to 10 FPS. The configuration of the camera and LEDs can be adjusted here using simple text commands in a configuration file.
Alternatively, control is possible via keyboard commands from a keyboard connected to the control unit or with simple text commands via the network. External systems can also be controlled via GPIO signals.
