A multi-spectral and hyperspectral image dataset for evaluating the health status of avocado, olive and vineyard

Abstract Assessing the health status of vegetation is of vital importance for all stakeholders. Multi-spectral and hyper-spectral imaging systems are tools for evaluating the health of crops across large areas, particularly when deployed on robotic platforms such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). However, the literature lacks benchmark datasets to test algorithms for predicting plant health status, with most researchers creating tailored datasets. This work presents a dataset composed of multi-spectral images, hyper-spectral reflectance values, and measurements of weight, chlorophyll, and nitrogen content of leaves at five different drying stages, from avocado, olive, and vineyard trees, which are common crops in the Valparaíso region of Chile. This dataset is a valuable asset for developing tools in the field of precision agriculture and assessing the general health status of vegetation.
