外文摘要：The invention relates to products and processes for measuring crop and pasture surface profile. In preferred embodiments the products and processes of the invention may be used to measure the average surface profile of crop and pasture foliage around stationary measurement devices. In one aspect the invention provides a device for measuring the surface profile of the canopy of a crop or pasture growing on a substrate, the device including a sensor member coupled to a support member that is configured to detachably mount to the substrate and be fixed to the substrate at the time of measurement, wherein the support member is configured to : i) space the sensor member above the substrate by a first distance; and ii) space the sensor member above the canopy of the crop or pasture by a second distance; and wherein the sensor member : i) includes a light transmission member that is configured to transmit light which is reflected by the canopy of the crop or pasture; and ii) includes a light detection sensor that is configured to detect at least a portion of the light transmitted from the light transmission member that is reflected by the canopy of the crop or pasture so as to enable the measurement of the surface profile of the canopy of the crop or pasture.
