DYCAM
AGRICULTERUAL DIGITAL CAMERA (ADC) - 1995. The
ADC was a portable digital camera specifically tailored for multi-band
photography in the visible red and near-infrared. The camera and
software allowed calibration for the ambient conditions and applied the
calibration value to all images made under the calibrated conditions.
The 24-bit color image from the camera was evaluated by the host software
as one of the three supported vegetation indexes (VI). The processed VI
image directly represented the result of the index equation used on a pixel-by-pixel
basis. The resulting 8-bit image could be palletized, saved and exported
for use with other software.
