1. OpenSource Multispectral Image Capture Rig
- Raspberry Pi
- In chamber
- Automation
- Evenly Lit
Our first goal will be to develop an in growth chamber lighting and camera rig.
We'll test light filter gel and collection spectra combinations to produce evenly lit, unshaded, high contrast images.
Team Webb will design and test the structures and mechanics of these rigs, they'll optimising light levels, filter type, camera positions and movement geometry specifications. THese'll be tested under brightfield and infrared illumination.
Team Webb will work on automation, in-development prototypes will be built with Lego construction kits and eventually production designs made for e.g 3D printed versions or bespoke components.
Team MacLean will develop and create motor and actuator controller circuitry, implement controller code for automation and deployment on the Raspberry Pi platforms, assist in design and production of 3D printing files for a reproducible version of the developed rig.
We'll also create a new Python middleware library of this code, write documentation for specialists and non-specialists, release code under CC licence to GitHub.
