Plant canopy analysis system——WinSCANOPY
Date:2017-03-21 11:54:53

Main functions

Use a 180-degree fisheye lens and a high-definition digital camera to obtain plant canopy images from below the plant canopy or upwards, and then process image data files to obtain leaf area index, light gap, and gap distribution related to canopy structureStatus and other parameters.

By analyzing the relevant information of the radiation data, WinSCANOPY can calculate the PAR intercepted by the canopy and the radiation level below the canopy.Its software can calculate radiation indicators, canopy indicators, light coverage status at the measurement location, and the distribution of direct and diffuse light.

Mask function: View caps block a certain image area to make effective and direct analysis in a specific area.Can be set arbitrarily within 0-360 degree angles and directions.Chart analysis functions: direct radiation, diffuse radiation, total radiation changes; radiation changes up and down the canopy within each hour within a day; daily radiation changes within a specific day within a season; GAP with each lifting height or direction, and LAI leafChanges in area index.

Measurement parameters

Canopy structure measurement parameters: light transmittance area, gap index, leaf area index (LAI), leaf inclination distribution (LAD), average leaf inclination (MLA), leaf projection coefficient, single leaf density, cluster index, single LAI,Analyze the non-hemispherical pictures of individual leaf area and soil cover, individual canopy analysis, gap size allocation, and full-screen fisheye image analysis.

Radiation measurement parameters: scattering factor, direct radiation and scattering above and below the canopy, direct radiation and total radiation parts in special periods, direct, scattering, total radiation factors, direct time ratio under the canopy, ground slope, daily spot distribution.


Application areas
