cfastie "Even with that nice filter it won't be possible to get a pure red channel. The red channel is sensitive to NIR light, and NIR is transmitted by the..." | Read more » about 8 years ago
cfastie "Scott, There is no problem. The Mobius can do interval shooting at any interval, and it can also do motion detection. The trail camera has NIR LED..." | Read more » about 8 years ago
cfastie "This is a good question, and not an easy one to answer. Preferred characteristics of cameras to be converted to pure NIR or full spectrum (NIR + R..." | Read more » about 8 years ago
cfastie "Depending on the blue filter used, photos from a Pi NoIR camera would capture (instead of R,G,B) NIR+R, NIR+G+B, B+NIR+G. If you use a good red fil..." | Read more » about 8 years ago
cfastie "Thanks for the details. After you use a CFL to calibrate the spectrometer, replace the CFL with another light source. If the spectrometer is not d..." | Read more » about 8 years ago

cfastie "Kat, Do you have a standard lycopene extraction? How do know what the spectrum of lycopene should look like? Are you using a fluorescent lamp to ..." | Read more » about 8 years ago

cfastie "Yes, the config file goes on the SD card. NDVI is based on the proportion of red to NIR light reflected from leaves. That proportion depends in pa..." | Read more » about 8 years ago
