AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing phenotyping devices struggle to maintain consistent angle and distance between the camera and the canopy spreader while moving, leading to suboptimal visibility and data quality in plant canopy measurements.

Method used

A phenotyping device with adjustable frames and canopy spreaders that maintain a fixed angle and distance between the camera and canopy spreader, allowing for improved visibility and data collection by spreading the canopy to reveal hidden plant parts.

Benefits of technology

Enhances data quality by ensuring consistent camera positioning and visibility, enabling accurate measurement of phenotypic traits across varying crop types and environments.

Abstract

A phenotyping device, method and system for measuring phenotypic traits of one or more plants in a target canopy, wherein the comprises a canopy spreader for spreading the target canopy, a camera unit, a means for controlling the angle and the distance of the camera unit in relation to the canopy spreader, an electronic control unit for controlling the camera unit. The phenotyping device, method and system enables recording the raw data from the target canopy during a data collection session comprising information of the plants that are not visible to a camera unit without spreading the canopy.
