INNOVATION

In order to better understand
these colonisation processes,
the HYPER3D project uses
a hyperspectral camera
developed by the start-up
PlanBlue, as well as artificial
intelligence. This innovative
technology helps to identify the
diversity of communities as well
as their physiological status,
without disturbing them.
