Abstract
System and methods may qualify plant material. A system for qualifying plant material may include an inspection zone, a support stage configured to support the plant material in the inspection zone, at least one camera configured to acquire at least one image of the plant material in the inspection zone, at least one processor configured to receive and analyze the camera image to identify a region of interest containing specific plant structures possessing active component, and at least one spectrometer configured to acquire a spectrometric measurement of the plant material in the inspection zone. The at least one processor may be further configured to facilitate a spectrometric measurement of the specific plant structures identified in the camera image, and to enable output of an indicator of a quality measure of the plant material based on the spectrometric measurement of the specific plant structures identified in the camera image.
