High-Throughput Corn Image Segmentation and Trait Extraction Using Chlorophyll Fluorescence Images.

ABSTRACT: Plant segmentation and trait extraction for individual organs are two of the key challenges in high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) operations. To address this challenge, the Ag Alumni Seed Phenotyping Facility (AAPF) at Purdue University utilizes chlorophyll fluorescence images (CFIs) to enable consistent and efficient automatic segmentation of plants of different species, age, or color. A series of image analysis routines were also developed to facilitate the quantitative measurements of key corn plant traits. A proof-of-concept experiment was conducted to demonstrate the utility of the extracted traits in assessing drought stress reaction of corn plants. The image analysis routines successfully measured several corn morphological characteristics for different sizes such as plant height, ar
