CI-110 Plant Canopy Imager



The CI-110 Plant Canopy Imager isan advanced tool for non-destructive measurement and analysis of plant canopycharacteristics, including Leaf Area Index (LAI). Combining hemisphericalcanopy photography, light measurement, and image analysis, it delivers preciseand reliable data for agricultural, forestry, and ecological research.

Key Features:

  • Self-leveling digital camera with 150° wide-angle lens for canopy imaging
  • 24 PAR sensors for measuring radiation and calculating sunflecks
  • Non-destructive LAI measurement via canopy images or PAR data
  • Advanced canopy analysis: gap fraction, leaf angle distribution, extinction coefficients
  • Accurate results without above-canopy reference readings
  • Real-time field data: view and save images instantly
  • Customizable settings: selectable zenith & azimuth angles, digital thresholding methods (Otsu, Entropy Crossover, and more)
  • All-weather performance for reliable measurements under any sky condition
  • Image customization with adjustable RGB color values
  • Integrated GPS systems (GPS, Glonass, Beidou, Galileo) with amplified antenna
  • Built-in compass for standardized and repeatable measurements
Neutral Density Filters included for optimized imaging in varying lightenvironments
