FLI
Fluorescence Line Imager

The Fluorescence Line Imager (FLI) is an airborne passive imaging spectrometer developed for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada. It uses five charge-coupled device (CCD) array detectors to capture imagery across the visible and near-infrared spectrum (430-805 nm) over land and water. It has a spectral resolution of 2.5 nm and a spatial resolution of about 2 meters. FLI is typically employed to map chlorophyll, phytoplankton, leaf area index, and tree density.
