Workshop on Computer Vision Problems in Plant Phenotyping

Plant phenotyping is the identification of effects on plant structure and function (the phenotype) resulting from genetic differences and the environmental conditions a plant has been exposed to. Knowledge of plant phenotypes is a key ingredient of the knowledge-based bioeconomy, which literally helps to feed the world, and is also essential for feed, fibre and fuel production. Image-based methods are now increasingly utilised in plant phenotyping and the resulting images need to be analysed in a robust, accurate, and efficient manner.

The second workshop on Computer Vision Problems in Plant Phenotyping, to be held alongside BMVC 2015 in September, will showcase the challenges raised by and extend the state of the art in computer vision for plant phenotyping.
