obtaining image information of an organism comprising a set of image data;
calculating a growth index based on the set of image data;
calculating an anticipated harvest time based on the growth index, wherein the set of image data is obtained from at least two image capture devices, wherein the at least two image capture devices capture the set of image data from at least two different positions; and
calculating a size of the organism based on the set of image data,
wherein the set of image data is obtained using an image sensor comprising a set of RGB color filters provided over a set of infrared (IR) cut filters, wherein the set of IR cut filters is provided over a set of RGB sensors,
wherein the image sensor further comprises a black filter provided over a NIR (near infrared) sensor with no IR cut filter provided over the NIR sensor and therefore with no blocking of NIR from the NIR sensor, and
wherein an image captured from the RGB sensors and the NIR sensor is representative of the organism.
