The accurate and high throughput quantification of nitrogen (N) content in wheat using non-destructive methods is an important step towards identifying wheat lines with high nitrogen use efficiency and informing agronomic management practices. Among various plant phenotyping methods, hyperspectral sensing has shown promise in providing accurate measurements in a fast and non-destructive manner. Past applications have utilised non-imaging instruments, such as spectrometers, while more recent approaches have expanded to hyperspectral cameras operating in different wavelength ranges and at various spectral resolutions. However, despite the success of previous hyperspectral applications, some important research questions regarding hyperspectral sensors with different wavelength centres and bandwidths remain unanswered, limiting wide application of this technology. This study evaluated the capability of hyperspectral imaging and non-imaging sensors to estimate N content in wheat leaves by comparing three hyperspectral cameras and a non-imaging spectrometer. This study answered the following questions: (1) How do hyperspectral sensors with different system setups perform when conducting proximal sensing of N in wheat leaves and what aspects have to be considered for optimal results? (2) What types of photonic detectors are most sensitive to N in wheat leaves? (3) How do the spectral resolutions of different instruments affect N measurement in wheat leaves? (4) What are the key-wavelengths with the highest correlation to N in wheat? Our study demonstrated that hyperspectral imaging systems with satisfactory system setups can be used to conduct proximal sensing of N content in wheat with sufficient accuracy. The proposed approach could reduce the need for chemical analysis of leaf tissue and lead to high-throughput estimation of N in wheat. The methodologies here could also be validated on other plants with different characteristics. The results can provide a reference for users wishing to measure N content at either plant- or leaf-scales using hyperspectral sensors.

This paper discusses the aspects of airborne remote sensing that are critical to forestry applications, the imaging characteristics of the most common sensors currently available, and analytical techniques that make use of the great amount of information content in airborne imagery. As the first paper in the CIF technical meeting to which this issue of the Forestry Chronicle is devoted, the paper is intended to provide an overview and context for subsequent papers and not a presentation of specific research methods or results. Key words: airborne remote sensing, forestry, photography, digital cameras, hyperspectral sensors, radar, laser remote sensing, image analysis
