An imaging box for a plant phenotyping measurement instrument

Abstract

This utility model discloses an imaging box for a plant phenotyping and measuring instrument, including a shooting box, multiple long light tubes, a sample display platform, and a color camera. The shooting box is a semi-enclosed type with an opening on the front, composed of an aluminum alloy frame and a plastic sealing plate. The sample display platform is located in the center bottom of the shooting box; this liftable sample platform is used to place the plant to be photographed. The front of the shooting box has an opening, and multiple light tubes are fixed inside the box on both sides of the opening. Multiple light tubes are also fixed around the top of the shooting box. One variable-focus color camera is placed outside the shooting box, facing the front opening; another variable-focus color camera is fixed inside the top of the shooting box. The imaging box provides a sufficient and uniform light source environment for the sample to be tested, effectively avoiding the problems of uneven imaging and difficulty in identification caused by ambient light when conventionally photographing roots, leaves, corn plant shape, and plant skeleton for analysis.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant phenotyping analysis, and in particular to an imaging box for a plant phenotyping measurement instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Genotype and environment determine an organism's external traits such as shape, structure, size, and color. Plant phenotype is determined or influenced by genes and environmental factors, reflecting all physical, physiological, and biochemical characteristics and traits of a plant, including its structure and composition, growth and development processes and outcomes.

[0003] In the existing plant phenotypic analysis process, the plants are affected by ambient light and various impurities in the pot, resulting in uneven plant photography and poor imaging effects, which prevents further phenotypic analysis.

[0004] To address the problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides an imaging box for a plant phenotyping and measuring instrument. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an imaging box for a plant phenotyping and measuring instrument.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An imaging box for a plant phenotyping and measurement instrument includes a shooting box, multiple long light tubes, a sample display stand, and a color camera. The shooting box is a semi-enclosed type with an opening on the front, composed of an aluminum alloy frame and a plastic sealing plate. The sample display stand is located in the center bottom of the shooting box, which is used to place the plants to be photographed. The front of the shooting box has an opening, and multiple light tubes are fixed inside the box on both sides of the opening. Multiple light tubes are also fixed around the top of the shooting box. A variable-focus color camera is placed outside the shooting box, facing the front opening, to facilitate photographing the plants on the sample display stand. Another variable-focus color camera is fixed inside the top of the shooting box, and an infrared binocular 3D camera is also installed next to it, both facing downwards to photograph the plants to be photographed on the sample display stand.

[0008] Furthermore, the sample display stand is height-adjustable and has retractable legs underneath.

[0009] Furthermore, the retractable legs are equipped with rollers at the bottom.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two light tubes on each side of the shooting box.

[0011] Furthermore, the lamps are fixed vertically, and the lamps on each side are arranged vertically.

[0012] Furthermore, a baffle is provided on the upper front side of the shooting box.

[0013] Furthermore, an infrared binocular 3D camera is also installed next to the variable-focus color camera at the top of the shooting box.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the imaging box provides a sufficient and uniform light source environment for the sample to be tested, which can effectively avoid the problem of uneven imaging and difficulty in identification caused by ambient light when conventionally shooting roots, leaves, corn plant shape, plant skeleton and other analysis. The product has a simple structure and is easy to assemble and promote application. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the imaging box of a plant phenotyping and measuring instrument provided by this utility model.

[0016] The components include: 1. Shooting box; 2. Sample display stand; 3. Light tube; 4. Color camera; 5. Rollers. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The specific solutions and embodiments of this utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] As shown in the figure, an imaging box for a plant phenotyping instrument includes a shooting box 1, multiple long light tubes 3, a sample display platform, and a color camera 4. The shooting box 1 is a semi-enclosed type with an opening on the front, composed of an aluminum alloy frame and a plastic sealing plate. The sample display platform 2 is located in the center bottom of the shooting box 1. This height-adjustable sample display platform 2 is used to place the plants to be photographed. The front of the shooting box 1 has an opening, and multiple light tubes 3 are fixed inside the box on both sides of the opening. Multiple light tubes 3 are also fixed around the top of the inside of the shooting box 1. A variable-focus color camera 4 is placed outside the shooting box, facing the front opening of the shooting box 1, to facilitate photographing the plants on the sample display platform 2. Another variable-focus color camera 4 is fixed inside the top of the shooting box 1, and an infrared binocular 3D camera is also installed next to it, both facing downwards to photograph the plants to be photographed on the sample display platform.

[0019] The sample display stand 2 is height-adjustable and has retractable legs underneath.

[0020] The retractable support legs are equipped with rollers 5 at the bottom.

[0021] The shooting box 1 has a set of long light tubes 4 on both sides. The light tubes 4 are fixed vertically and arranged vertically on each side. The setting of multiple lights makes the light on the plant to be photographed more uniform and the shooting clearer.

[0022] A baffle is provided on the upper front side of the shooting box 1 to make the light inside the box more stable.

[0023] Preferably, the variable-focus color camera 4 is an infrared binocular 3D camera, which makes the plant images clearer.

[0024] The imaging method uses a color camera, which is connected to a PC display terminal to enable computer-controlled photography and data transmission.

[0025] In the specific process of shooting and imaging, such as Figure 1 Turn on the light tubes fixed on the shooting box to provide a sufficient light source environment, turn on the color cameras located on the top and side of the shooting box, place the sample to be tested on the height-adjustable sample display platform, take pictures in the software, and automatically measure various data of crop roots, leaves, corn plant type, plant skeleton and test varieties, which is convenient and fast.
