Raspberry Pi Infragram

This page collects research on using #raspberry-pi based cameras (aka #pi-camera) to take Infragram multispectral photos, for plant health analysis. It is supported in part by the AREN project at NASA.

Design goals

Low cost, low complexity, easy to build and open source!

Also see the Image Sequencer project which is designed to run on a Raspberry Pi for on-board image processing.

To get a kit with this already set up on an SD card and/or Raspberry Pi camera, see:

Build a simple aerial photo rig for a Raspberry Pi camera

If yours is already assembled, just plug it in using a Micro USB cable (or battery pack) and it'll create a WiFi network called 00-PiCamera -- password publiclab -- which you can log into from your phone or laptop. You'll quickly see streaming video, be able to take photos, timelapses, or videos, do motion triggered capture, and more.
