AI-enabled Plant Phenotyping

We develop robotic sensing systems and computer vision methods to measure plant traits, map crop production, and characterize plants in indoor and field environments. Our projects span robotic imaging, high-throughput phenotyping, yield mapping, and 3D reconstruction.

Robotic Leaf Angle Characterization

2019 - 2022

AngleNet is an automated image processing pipeline developed for measuring leaf angles of maize plants in the field. This pipeline detects each leaf angle as a triplet of keypoints in two-dimensional images and extracts quantitative data from reconstructed 3D models.

3D Model of Sorghum Stems

2020

Our customized PhenoStereo cameras are capable of capturing high-quality and high sharpness stereoscopic images under field conditions. The images are used to reconstruct high-fidelity 3D models by stereo matching algorithms.

3D Model of Maize Plants

2021

The multiview 3D point clouds were cross-registered to reconstruct the entire canopy of maize plants in the field.
