Key message High-throughput phenoty** (HTP) is in its infancy for deployment in large-
scale breeding programmes. With the ability to measure correlated traits associated with …

This study explores the potential of vegetation indices (VIs) for crop leaf area index (LAI)
estimation, with a focus on comparing red-edge reflectance based (RE-based) and the …

Over the last decade, a series of global moderate resolution leaf area index (LAI) products
have become available and been widely applied in many disciplines. At the same time …

A sufficient number of satellite acquisitions in a growing season are essential for deriving
agronomic indicators, such as green leaf area index (GLAI), to be assimilated into crop …

Canopy clum** index (CI) characterizes the spatial distribution of leaves or needles within
a vegetation canopy. CI is critical in determining the canopy radiation transfer …

This paper presents a survey of image processing techniques proposed in the literature for
extracting key cereal crop growth metrics from high spatial resolution, typically proximal …

Extraction of leaf area index (LAI) is an important prerequisite in numerous studies related to
plant ecology, physiology and breeding. LAI is indicative for the performance of a plant …

Automatic leaf area index (LAI) measurements are important for obtaining sufficient amounts
of field data over an extended period of time. A seasonal field campaign was carried out to …

Since the 1960s, canopy photography has been widely used in forestry. Hemispherical
photography has been the most widely used technique, but a great drawback of this method …
