Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de surveillance de la réalité de terrain qui permet d'évaluer en continu les étapes de croissance d'une plante. Ce système comprend a) au moins une unité de détection spectrale d'acquisition de données (orientée vers un site d'observation d'une partie de la plante par le biais d'au moins un ensemble optique, b) au moins un ensemble optique pour chaque unité de détection (ledit ensemble optique étant relié à l'unité de détection, c) un moyen pour fixer l'ensemble optique à proximité du site d'observation, d) une conduite de données (reliée par une extrémité à chaque unité de détection et par l'autre extrémité à une unité de traitement de données), et e) l'unité de traitement de données au moyen de laquelle les données provenant des unités de détection sont normalisées en regard de références d'étalonnage spécifiques à l'espèce.
