Vegetation spectral profiles and the corresponding spectral parameters are usually employed for vegetation growth status indication, i.e., vegetation classification, bio-chemical content mapping, and efficient fertilization guiding. In view of the fact that the spectrometer works by relying on ambient lighting condition, hyperspectral\/multi-spectral LiDAR (HSL\/MSL) was invented to collect the spectral profiles actively. However, most of the HSL\/MSL works with the wavelength specially selected for specific applications. For precision agriculture applications, a more feasible HSL capable of collecting spectral profiles at wide-range spectral wavelength is necessary to extract various spectral parameters. Inspired by this, in this paper, we developed a hyperspectral LiDAR (HSL) with 10 nm spectral resolution covering 500~1000 nm. Different vegetation leaf samples were scanned by the HSL, and it was comprehensively assessed for wide-range wavelength spectral profiles acquirement, spectral parameters extraction, vegetation classification, and the laser incident angle effect. Specifically, three experiments were carried out: (1) spectral profiles results were compared with that from a SVC spectrometer (HR-1024, Spectra Vista Corporation); (2) the extracted spectral parameters from the HSL were assessed, and they were employed as the input features of a support vector machine (SVM) classifier with multiple labels to classify the vegetation; (3) in view of the influence of the laser incident angle on the HSL reflected laser intensities, we analyzed the laser incident angle effect on the spectral parameters values. The experimental results demonstrated the developed HSL was more feasible for acquiring spectral profiles with wide-range wavelength, and spectral parameters and vegetation classification results also indicated its great potentials in precision agriculture application.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13132521","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]],"date-time":"2021-06-28T13:39:22Z","timestamp":1624887562000},"page":"2521","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Hyperspectral LiDAR-Based Plant Spectral Profiles Acquisition: Performance Assessment and Results Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4366-4547","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianxin","family":"Jia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, FI-02430 Masala, Finland"}]},{"given":"Changhui","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, FI-02430 Masala, Finland"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Unmanned Systems, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2718-114X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haohao","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Quantitative Remote Sensing Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0148-3609","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuwei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, FI-02430 Masala, Finland"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Quantitative Remote Sensing Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"given":"Peilun","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, FI-02430 Masala, Finland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6988-931X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hui","family":"Shao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, FI-02430 Masala, Finland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6624-2016","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shaowei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, China Academic of Science, Shanghai 200083, China"}]},{"given":"Fan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, China Academic of Science, Shanghai 200083, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0985-4443","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eetu","family":"Puttonen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, FI-02430 Masala, Finland"}]},{"given":"Juha","family":"Hyypp\u00e4","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, FI-02430 Masala, Finland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Asrar, G.
