Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described herein for capturing images of plants using a broad spectrum camera while illuminating the plants with specific light wavelengths from light sources such as light emitting diodes (LEDs). A first light source may be activated, wherein the first light source emits light having a first spectrum toward a bed of a plurality of plants. On a condition that the first light source is activated, a first image of the bed of the plurality of plants may be captured with a broad spectrum camera. A second light source may be activated, wherein the second light source emits light having a second spectrum toward the bed of the plurality of plants. On a condition that the second light source is activated, a second image of the bed of the plurality of plants may be captured with the broad spectrum camera.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n activating a first light source that emits light having a first spectrum toward a bed of a plurality of plants; capturing a first image of the bed of the plurality of plants with a broad spectrum camera on the condition that the first light source is activated and a second light source that emits light having a second spectrum different than the first spectrum, towards the bed of a plurality of plants, is deactivated; activating the second light source; and on a condition that the second light source is activated, capturing a second image of the bed of the plurality of plants with the broad spectrum camera if the second light source is activated and if the first light source is deactivated.
