This paper describes the pipeline used to produce calibrated hyperspectral images from the two hyperspectral cameras deployed under field conditions. The pipeline implements radiometric calibration, reflectance calculation, bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) correction, soil and shadow masking, and image quality assessment.  This was a true tour de force!

The Transportation Energy Resources from Renewable Agriculture Phenotyping Reference Platform (TERRA-REF) provides a data and computation pipeline responsible for collecting, transferring, processing and distributing large volumes of crop sensing and genomic data from genetically informative germplasm sets. The primary source of these data is a field scanner system built over an experimental field at the University of Arizona Maricopa Agricultural Center.
