A REVIEW OF MULTIBAND IMAGING TECHNIQUES IN AGRICULTURE

The multispectral imaging method entails collecting and processing an image through different wavelength bands on the electromagnetic spectrum. The imaging method is entirely different from the conventional imaging technique since it does not objective one specialized wavelength band or channel such as visible light. In its place, it collects and processes various spectral bands of information either simultaneously or one by one. This provides a deeper insight into the subject matter being analyzed. The multi-band or multi-spectral imaging process involves gathering various bands of wavelengths to form a full spectrum of the view of an object or image. In this case, each wavelength corresponds to a specified region on the electromagnetic band, including visible light, infrared light, and ultraviolet light. This means that multiband imaging provides a more comprehensive analysis of the situation than single-channel images that have a limited scope of wavelengths. It is vital in numerous areas, particularly those involving the use of machine vision cameras such as agriculture, medicine, and others. Due to population increases, natural resource exhaustion can be expected; therefore, farming production must be improved.
