Latest ESA Research Leads to Better Cameras for Precision Agriculture

Lars Wecks for Trend in Tech:  A new camera from Cubert, working in collaboration with VITO Remote Sensing and imec, based on research from the European Space Agency, is bringing high-resolution details to precision farming.
Precision farming relies on *hyperspectral imaging to gather additional information about crops for making the best decisions on resource and field management. The ButterflEYES LS from Cubert can now provide these images with in focus details as minute as five centimeters. Also, since it weighs only 400g, it is easily carried by a drone over large and varied land masses.
Hyperspectral imaging can capture visual information in a variety of wavelengths, including near-infrared. Because of this added feature, a hyperspectral camera allows its users to see processes or problems that might otherwise be invisible to in normal imaging.  Full Article:

Advanced Mid-Power and High-Power LEDs for Horticulture Lighting

Cree LED's J Series® family offers a comprehensive portfolio of mid-power and high-power LEDs engineered specifically for horticulture lighting. The lineup includes high-efficacy 2835, 3030 and 5050 platforms designed to maximize photon output, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability in demanding grow environments. Photophyll™ Select options in the JB3030C and 2835 platforms deliver industry-leading efficiency with excellent sulfur resistance and footprint compatibility with 301B/H devices - making design-in seamless for horticulture luminaires. The 2835 N-Class color portfolio adds even greater flexibility with 15 high-efficacy spectral options that support precise spectrum tuning. For high-power applications, the JR5050C provides the industry's highest efficacy in its class and can reduce system costs by up to 40%. The JR5050B complements this with best-in-class efficacy in both 6V and 30V configurations. The J Series portfolio also features top-performing white LEDs. The JB3030C delivers up to 3.33 PPF/W (typical), while the JB2835B offers the highest efficacy available in a 2835 white platform. Together, these solutions give horticulture lighting manufacturers exceptional efficiency, broad spectral versatility and unmatched design flexibility.
