A technique and apparatus for monitoring a plant canopy over a field is disclosed. The technique includes receiving first sensor values from a plurality of plant canopy sensors disposed in or on a ground of the field under the plant canopy. The first sensor values are indicative of near-infrared (IR) light reflected or reradiated from the plant canopy. Second sensor values are also received from the plant canopy sensors. The second sensor values are indicative of red light that is incident through the plant canopy. A map of the plant canopy may be generated based upon the first and second sensor values.

A diagnosis unit determines a first degradation degree of a display device on the basis of a measured illuminance calculated from an output of a photo sensor, compares the first degradation degree with a degradation threshold, and outputs a corresponding diagnosis when the first degradation degree reaches the degradation threshold.

The present application provides a light sensing method and a light sensor module thereof, wherein the light sensing method includes obtaining optical signal values respectively by sensing of a first photodetection element, a second photodetection element, and a third photodetection element, wherein the first photodetection element and the second photodetection element have different effective photosensitive wavelength ranges, and the third photodetection element is a full-absorption band photodetection element. Through this, operation results of the optical signal values may be used to identify types of light sources.
