Research Article: Predicting Cannabinoid Yield from Spectral Leaf Scans
We are pleased to see our latest co-authored paper published in Industrial Crops and Products: “Hyperspectral measurements of Cannabis sativa fan leaves during early floral development predict final cannabinoid yield.” The study shows that spectral-optical measurements of fan leaves, taken early in flowering, can already predict the final cannabinoid yield with high accuracy. Using hand-held hyperspectral sensing and machine learning models, the…

Why Calibration Matters in Spectral-Optical Measurements
Spectral-optical sensors are powerful tools for analysing materials and processes — from agriculture to industrial quality control. But like any measurement system, their accuracy depends not only on the sensor itself, but also on how well it is calibrated. Without proper calibration, results can drift over time, making data harder to compare across samples, instruments,…
