The project on developing non-destructive optical tools and methods for characterization has led to the advancement of expertise in multispectral imaging and spectroscopic analysis tailored to plant metabolism. It also highlighted the challenges of stress classification when analyzing an entire plant.
The multispectral acquisition system would require improvements, particularly in its light projection pattern, or consideration of using a commercial portable camera for the observation of specific regions of interest. Spectrometric data analysis remains the greatest challenge, given the large volume of data to process.
Finally, regarding dimensional metrology, only one indicator appears promising. However, further work would be necessary to verify variations within a group of plants.
