研究目的
To demonstrate the potential of streamlined graphical user interfaces for field spectroradiometers by developing and testing software applications that align with scientific end-user requirements, aiming to inspire industry improvements and open documentation.
研究成果
The case studies successfully demonstrate that streamlined user interfaces based on end-user requirements can enhance the usability and functionality of field spectroradiometers. Key findings include improved data acquisition workflows, better metadata capture, and increased data quality. The research highlights the importance of industry-scientific collaboration and open documentation for future developments. Suggestions include broader adoption of field protocols in software design to reduce errors and improve data value in spectral information systems.
研究不足
For the ASD case study, connectivity issues with FieldSpec4 instruments due to Ethernet card peculiarities limit operational use to FieldSpec3 instruments only. Calibration files must be imported from an ASD-supplied laptop, adding complexity. The software is specific to certain instrument models and operating systems, potentially limiting broader applicability. Performance for large datasets in the RoX/FloX application is not optimized for detailed analysis beyond 2 million measurements.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses two case studies involving the development of software applications for controlling spectroradiometers. The ASD case study involves an iOS-based application for iPad to control ASD Fieldspec instruments, while the RoX/FloX case study involves a Java application for laptop platforms to interface with FloX/RoX instruments. Methods include software development in Swift and Java, adhering to derived requirements from practical experience.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The ASD case study used Fieldspec Pro instruments of the 3rd and 4th generation. The RoX/FloX case study involved instruments from JB Hyperspectral company, with data imported from SD storage cards.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
ASD Fieldspec spectroradiometers (models not specified beyond generation), Apple iPad, FloX/RoX spectroradiometers, SD storage cards, laptops for development and testing.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
For ASD, procedures included wireless connection setup, calibration file handling, live data viewing, and data acquisition workflows. For RoX/FloX, procedures included Bluetooth connectivity, data import from SD cards, visualization, and instrument configuration. Both involved user interface testing and data management.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis focused on software functionality, user interface performance, and data handling capabilities, with visualization of spectral data in raw, radiance, and reflectance formats.
