Abstract
The extraction of automated plant phenomics from digital images has advanced in recent years. However, the accuracy of extracted phenomics, especially for individual plants in a field environment, requires improvement. In this paper, a new and efficient method of extracting individual plant areas and their mean normalized difference vegetation index from high-resolution digital images is proposed. The algorithm was applied on perennial ryegrass row field data multispectral images taken from the top view. First, the center points of individual plants from digital images were located to exclude plant positions without plants. Second, the accurate area of each plant was extracted using its center point and radius. Third, the accurate mean normalized difference vegetation index of each plant was extracted and adjusted for overlapping plants. The correlation between the extracted individual plant phenomics and fresh weight ranged between 0.63 and 0.75 across four time points. The methods proposed are applicable to other crops where individual plant phenotypes are of interest.
