Finding the right objects in an image
Digital phenotyping and digital seed testing essentially have two main parts: image acquisition and feature extraction from the image. The second part is challenging as soon as the background or surrounding is not homogeneous and if non-target objects are present that can be similar to the target objects. The [...]

Extending Hyperspectral Imaging for Plant Phenotyping to the UV-Range
Hyperspectral imaging is a powerful tool in phyisological phenotyping. In particular, assessments of plant disease can benefit from spectral imaging, and frequently non-visible wavelengths provide additional information to the spectral signatures derived from visible light. Together with our partners in the DePhenSe project we recently published a paper in [...]
LemnaTec PhenoCenter, the flexible automated laboratory phenotyping system for seedlings, Arabidopsis and beyond.
Biologists, agronomists, and breeders frequently use young seedlings for rapid testing of plant properties, features and responses. When screening large populations, such as mutants, transformants, crossings, or treatment-groups, test frequently are done with early stage seedlings (up to 20 cm height), detached leaves, or leaf disks. This enables saving [...]
