Optical Remote Sensing.

A compact measurement system combining a spectrometer and a wide-angle sky camera.

Project setup connecting a Raspberry Pi, a wide-angle sky camera and a Torch Bearer spectrometer

A collaborative university module combining optical instruments with embedded, Python-based data acquisition.

Project overview

The system connected a Torch Bearer spectrometer and a wide-angle sky camera to a Raspberry Pi. Python software provided instrument control, live visualization and automated, time-stamped data logging.

Comparison measurements with a reference spectrometer supported the characterization of the measurement system.
