Phenocart

This is low cost ground based tricycle loaded with multiple sensors such as NDVI, IRT, DSLR Camera, GPS, Data logger, and battery. The image and reflectance based data is collected in an automated way. The data is processed with simple data analysis tools to extract information rapidly. The phenocart is self propelled where hub motor of eBike take power from the lithium battery. The motor is controlled through an electronic controller with some modifications. The phenocart is nearly 200 times faster compared to manual data collection. On top of it, the accuracy is much higher where data is collected digitally minimizing human error and speed in processing. Immediately after the field run, the data is ready for analysis.
