Unmanned aircraft system (UAS) is a particularly powerful tool for plant phenoty**, due to
reasonable cost of procurement and deployment, ease and flexibility for control and …

Several variables, including a rising human population, varying weather patterns in the
context of ongoing climate change, and the rapid worldwide spread of epidemics, all …

Trellised fruiting-wall training systems are becoming standard for modern apple orchards
due to their high fruit yield and quality, and their suitability to robotic operations in pruning …

Food crisis is a matter of prime importance because it becomes more severe as the global
population grows. Among the solutions to this crisis, breeding is deemed one of the most …

Machine vision for plant phenoty** is an emerging research area for producing high
throughput in agriculture and crop science applications. Since 2D based approaches have …

We describe a method for 3D reconstruction of plant seed surfaces, focusing on small seeds
with diameters as small as 200 μm. The method considers robotized systems allowing single …

In order to achieve high-efficiency, low-cost and non-destructive measurement of soybean
leaf inclination, three soybean varieties (Fudou-6, Kangxian-9 and Kangxian-13) were taken …

This chapter provides an introduction to the most common 3D sensing systems used for the
extraction of crop geometry and structure information. These systems have been grouped …

Plant phenoty** is the identification of effects on the phenotype (ie, the plant appearance
and behavior) as a result of genotype differences (ie, differences in the genetic code) and …

To optimize shoot growth and structure of cereals, we need to understand the genetic
components controlling initiation and elongation. While measuring total shoot growth at high …
