RGB imaging remains the workhorse of digital phenotyping sensors producing rapid, easy to interpret data and vital phenomic parameters on morphology, biomass, plant growth, and architecture and (de-) coloration.
WPS has extensive experience with both the soft- and hardware that’s needed to get the best results from a RGB plant imaging setup.
Some facts and figures:
- WPS has 150 RGB imaging sensors operational all over the world
- Daily > 1,000,000 plants are being analyzed with WPS sensors and algorithms
- WPS RGB sensors and cabinets can be used for different plant sizes, from seedlings to mature plants of all major agronomical crops.
It all starts with image quality
Relevant information is only acquired via good and objective image quality. WPS uses advanced optics and sensors, a finely balanced setup that leads to the best possible image with reliable objective color information. This is essential for the next step, image analysis.
Image analysis
WPS has extensive experience with image analysis of plants and has developed a wide range of algorithms for this purpose, to quantify morphologic traits such as
- Digital biomass
- Height
- Convex hull
- Centre of mass/ gravity
- Projected surface
- Filling
- Stem diameter
- Number of leaves
- Flowering surface
- Senescence
- …and many others.
