Remote sensing used in vegetation monitoring has been a significant study area for decades. With the advent of multispectral and hyperspectral cameras, detecting healthy vegetation in forests and crops were more accessible through the ratio of different spectral bands that resulted in other vegetation indices. However, even with the usefulness and practicality of these methods, they need to be more accurate since they are relative values that depend on several factors of the internal composition of the vegetation. This work proposes the analysis of a spectral bandwidth of a central wavelength of 1 μm, using a conventional CCD camera as a detector with a bandpass filter with a linewidth of 10 nm. This range presents characteristics of water absorption but also reflectance due to the cellulose of the cell walls of the leaves. In this way, using the electro-optical array, the radiation reflected changes by several leaves will be analyzed considering the hydration and deterioration of the leaf.
