About NIR Spectrum
Infrared spectrum is the wavelength range of 780-2526 nm,
the most prominent absorption bands occurring in the NIR region corresponds to
overtones and combination of fundamental vibrations of HX bonding, where X can
be carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.
NIR
Spectroscopy is commonly is used in agricultural operations to control crop
parameters, such as water content, sugar content, and other indicators of
ripeness. And it measure chlorophyll fluorescence to determine the need for
nitrogen-based fertilizers or scans for brushing that is not visible to the
human eye.
NIR is also a vibration-sensitive technology and design must
take this into account for applications in a production environment. NIR
spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between a sample (e.g. cereals,
seeds, oils, finished products) and infrared light that has been dispersed into
individual wavelengths, usually by a prism. It is electromagnetic spectrum
method uses the near infrared region.
The Monarch™ is the first device that allows you to capture
spectral images easily and inexpensively, anywhere and anytime. No more need
for expensive, bulky and sensitive equipment or handheld point spectrometers
that require a trained operator and are blind to scene context. Monarch opens a
wide array of new applications for any market segment.
Unispectral Monarch camera is suitable for both hand-held
inspection and installations in greenhouses, vertical growing facilities,
robotics and machine vision platforms. By using spectral IR imaging, Monarch
provides a new layer of information. The NIR light reflections of plants,
chemicals and minerals contain information that is invisible to the human eye.
Monarch small and light camera captures detailed frames in 700nm-950nm NIR
spectral range that unveil actionable information. As a multi-spectral NIR
camera, Monarch can measure large samples and unlike point devices, enables
context understanding. Monarch opens a new array of applications, possibilities
and opportunities for agriculture individuals and cooperatives.
