This document discusses using imaging spectroscopy to estimate chlorophyll content in soybean leaves. It begins with an introduction to near infrared spectroscopy and its history. It then describes how a field imaging spectroscopy system was used to collect spectral data from soybean leaves. Random forests regression and the PROSPECT radiative transfer model were used to establish a model for estimating chlorophyll concentration from the spectral data. The model was able to accurately estimate chlorophyll content in soybean leaves and has potential applications for precision agriculture management and monitoring crop health at larger scales using remote sensing.
