AgriCircle (Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland; www.agricircle. com), a company in the field of digital modeling, the preparation of data, and the development of decision support for agriculture, developed a system to measure biodiversity in flora, make diseases visible, and identify problematic weeds. Peter Frohlich, AgriCircle CEO, states, "With satellites, we identify regional biodiversity clusters and then are looking for high-resolution biodiversity in the identified areas. It is important to identify different plants and their distribution in the area. What is needed to do that is a hyperspectral camera covering 400-1000 nm with maximum 10 nm spectral bandwidths." The company is using hyperspectral cameras from Photonfocus (Lachen, Switzerland; www.photonfocus.com) with 41 bands in the 400-950 nm range for snapshot images to achieve this task.
