Device and sensor information, including technical specifications, calibration data, and calibration targets are stored in the [TERRA REF Clowder database](https://terraref.ncsa.illinois.edu/clowder/spaces/594bda394f0cf8bbab271dfb). The Maricopa field site is located at the the University of Arizona Maricopa Agricultural Center and USDA Arid Land Research Station in Maricopa, Arizona. At this site, we have deployed the following phenotyping platforms. The [**Lemnatec Scanalyzer Field System**](http://www.lemnatec.com/products/hardware-solutions/scanalyzer-field/) is the largest field crop analytics robot in the world. This high-throughput phenotyping field-scanning robot has a 30-ton steel gantry that autonomously moves along two 200-meter steel rails while continuously imaging the crops growing below it with a diverse array of cameras and sensors. Twelve sensors are attached to the gantry system. Detailed information for each sensor including name, variable measured, and field of view are described in the table below, with links to more detailed specifications. ![](/files/-Lu9wsee05TSu2UFDL3b) | Sensor Name | Model and Spec Sheet | Field of View | Pixel dimension (mm) at 2m | Technical Specifications | Notes | | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Imaging Sensors** | | | | | | | Stereo RGB Camera | GT3300 ([web](http://www.1stvision.com/cameras/AVT/Prosilica-GT3300-B-C.html)) ([specs](https://terraref.ncsa.illinois.edu/clowder/datasets/5873a8ae4f0cad7d8131ac0e?space=594bda394f0cf8bbab271dfb)) | 53° | 0.305 x 0.315 | | | | Laser Scanner | Custom Frauhofer 3D ([specs](https://terraref.ncsa.illinois.edu/clowder/datasets/5873a7444f0cad7d81319b2b?space=594bda394f0cf8bbab271dfb)) | 0.5m width | 1.0 x 0.4 |

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.terraref.org/protocols/field-scanner.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
