Product Overview
The spectral climate monitoring system independently developed by Beijing StarView Technology Co., Ltd. is mainly used for long-term positioning and monitoring of plant climate growth. The equipment is based on accurate multi-spectral imaging technology and built-in multiple climate and vegetation index algorithms, realizing online automated monitoring of plant climate.
It provides professional solutions for scientific research work in many fields, such as plant growth monitoring in agriculture, forestry and grassland, ecological environment research, and remote sensing ground verification.
Application Cases
The case for forest vegetation phenology ►

Climatic observation images and NDVI vegetation index change curve of Wanglang Mountain Ecological Remote Sensing Integrated Observation Experimental Station in 2024
From the curve image, it can be seen that the change of NDVI value is the real reflection of the vegetation growth condition in the corresponding image.

April 17, 2024 Little green vegetation: greening period | May 17, 2024 New leaf growth on vegetation: green maturity transition period

July 23, 2024: Seasonal Flourishing | December 21, 2024: Dormant Regulating Period
The case of grass weather observation ►
Data from late May 2024-November 15, 2024 were analyzed at the Hulunbeier Te Naihe Grassland Experimental Station facility of China Agricultural University.
One of the first snowfalls of the winter was on October 21, which was clearly expressed in the NDVI fitting curve, i.e., the NDVI value suddenly dropped to negative, and then with the melting of the snow (basically melted on October 26), the NDVI was back to about 0 again.


Inflection points were extracted from the trend of daily NDVI data analysis curves during the growing season to obtain the time points of the phenological period:
Growth period:Since the May observation data, through June 18th.
Reproductive growth period (flowering, fruiting): June 18-September 11
withering period::September 11-October 20
Cases of climate observation in agricultural fields ►
Beijing Normal University (BNU) has realized high-precision real-time monitoring of maize phenological period (BBCH) by using a spectral climate camera to acquire spectral and texture information from fused RGB and near-infrared images. StarView can provide customized services of machine recognition function for the demand of automatic climate period recognition of flowers and fruits of specific vegetation.
