However, in actual use, there are certain differences in the height and shape of plants. When shooting and measuring with cameras at fixed positions, visual dead angles are likely to occur, resulting in the inability to perform full-round phenotype measurement work on plants, and the measurement results are prone to errors. Moreover, most of them are relatively large in volume and specification, with insufficient portability, making it inconvenient to measure small-sized and dwarf plants. Summary of the Utility Model
