“…Min and Lee (2005) investigated reflectance characteristics of citrus leaves of varying nitrogen (N) concentrations, and identified important wavelengths (448,669,719,1,377,1,773, and 2,231 nm) for N detection using stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR) and partial least squares (PLS) regression. Further Min et al (2008) developed a portable hyperspectral sensing system in 620-950 nm and 1,400-2,500 nm to measure citrus nitrogen concentration using detector arrays, linear variable filters, a halogen light, and data acquisition cards. The sensor system had good linearity and stability, and was able to estimate citrus N content with a root mean square difference (RMSD) of 1.69 g/kg.…”
