Image-based dynamic quantification and high-accuracy 3D evaluation of canopy structure of plant populations.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Global agriculture is facing the challenge of a phenotyping bottleneck due to large-scale screening/breeding experiments with improved breeds. Phenotypic analysis with high-throughput, high-accuracy and low-cost technologies has therefore become urgent. Recent advances in image-based 3D reconstruction offer the opportunity of high-throughput phenotyping. The main aim of this study was to quantify and evaluate the canopy structure of plant populations in two and three dimensions based on the multi-view stereo (MVS) approach, and to monitor plant growth and development from seedling stage to fruiting stage.

Methods

Multi-view images of flat-leaf cucumber, small-leaf pepper and curly-leaf eggplant were obtained by moving a camera around the plant canopy. Thr
