After 20+ years of pioneering research, we’ve moved from scepticism to solid validation in detecting solar-induced fluorescence using mid-resolution hyperspectral imagery. New study led by @WonseokFromESL & @ryuyr77 and international collaborators. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

In IGARSS 2025, we were happy to introduce a new approach to compensate for atmospheric effects on at-sensor radiance and the added fluorescence signal. Thanks to @ZarcoTejada @TomasPoblete17 @anirudhb20 and Ran (University of Nebraska–Lincoln). @HyperSensLab @UniMelb @QuantaLab

We found a distinct contribution of the blue spectral region and fluorescence emission when explaining needle nitrogen and phosphorus variability with hyperspectral imagery. Research led by Peiye Li @UniMelb with @HyperSensLab & @QuantaLab @IAS_CSIC. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Rice blast infection signals revealed. Multi-temporal proximal hyperspectral imagery captured the transition of disease lesions from asymptomatic to symptomatic stages, distinguishing subtle pathogen-induced signals. doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2025.1…

It's always rewarding to look back and cherish the places, feelings, colleagues, and friends from @HyperSensLab @UniMelb. In a world without distances, presence still matters. Thank you all for your big smiles and the wonderful memories from our amazing remote sensing group.

Another successful campaign in Renmark! Collected hyperspectral & thermal data to uncover crop yield variability in almond orchards for Thulasi Vishwanath's PhD thesis @HyperSensLab. Excited for the insights ahead! @ZarcoTejada @vicgd1977 @LalaWang17 @happy99yueyue @SciMelb

In our latest study (doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.…), we used hyperspectral imagery to estimate chlorophyll a+b in radiata pine, comparing empirical and Radiative Transfer Models (RTM). Greenhouse and field trials revealed how structural complexity influences Ca+b estimation.

Latest research by Anne Wang @happy99yueyue assessed plant traits from Sentinel-2 to characterize leaf nitrogen variability in almond orchards. Airborne hyperspectral imagery as a benchmark demonstrated that almond nutrient levels could be mapped. doi.org/10.1007/s11119-024-1…
