Berkeley Lab AI sensor "sniffs out" spectral targets

Berkeley Lab scientists developed an intelligent sensor that first “sniffs” out spectral features of interest in example objects — here a type of crop (above) or leaf (below). It then seeks out the specified targets in a new environment — one it has not seen before, while avoiding cumbersome digital processing.

Meet the sniffer dog of spectroscopy tools: an AI-enhanced sensor that can “sniff and seek” target objects in real-time.
