Description

Introducing CropTracker, a solution aimed to optimize water efficiency, enhance crop growth, and pave the way for future advancements in agricultural technology. The idea is to fly a drone with a hyperspectral camera that uses HYGER technology to capture images in the visible and infrared spectrum. After being processed, these images can give powerful insights about crops to farmers like the health or water content of the plants. With these insights, the farmer can act accordingly, increase harvest and reduce water waste. HYGER technology is an advanced infrared detection unit using high-purity black germanium. It offers high sensitivity, low noise, cost-effectiveness, and exceptional performance in detecting near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelengths.
