Executive Summary : | The use of compact hyperspectral imaging sensors has been evolving to be vital infrastructure information paradigm. To use the opportunities of hyperspectral sensors as a sensing device will ease the complications in using UAVs and improve the reach of technology to every individual user in the society. Use of inexpensive, indigenously produced hyperspectral sensors will enale monitoring the environmental changes in real time and the farmers will be able to prepare in the best way to treat the crops, achieve better yield and manage the resources. The proposed hyperspectral imaging sensor is a kind of the programmable sensors to have different kinds of applications that allow formation of a network and communicating with other devices and also gathering, analyzing and verifying data. Due to lack of Indigenous sensors, companies have to buy imported hyperspectral imaging sensors, which are very expensive. As a result, their applications / services have been expensive. This project, with huge commercial prospect, proposes for development of an indigenously designed and developed low-cost snapshot hyperspectral imaging sensor system and demonstrate its use for agriculture application. The proposed sensor is very lightweight, mountable on ground vehicles and drones for with-in field level mapping and monitoring of crops. The proposed sensor system will be realized, from scratch, based on commercial equipment level, commercial 3D printers, and open-source software and will operates from 400 nm to 1052 nm. The proposed system, to be costing only about 10 of the currently available commercial counterparts, will be highly portable, reusable, and of lightweight for possible research and commercial applications. |
