This book covers recent developments in image analysis of higher plants at leaf, plant, and small canopy level. It introduces the basic concepts of image analysis and discusses various techniques in plant imaging, applications and future potentials. It covers imaging techniques that include RGB imaging, hyperspectral imaging, thermal imaging, multi-spectral fluorescence imaging, chlorophyll fluorescence imaging and ROS imaging. It then details their use in the assessment of plant growth and photosynthetic status, early detection of diseases and stress, cellular detection of reactive oxygen species, and plant phenotyping.
The application of imaging techniques in plant and agricultural sciences had previously been confined to images obtained through remote sensing techniques. Technological advancements now allow image analysis for the nondestructive and objective evaluation of biological objects. This has opened a new window in the field of plant science.
Plant Image Analysis: Fundamentals and Applications
introduces the basic concepts of image analysis and discusses various techniques in plant imaging, their applications, and future potential. Several types of imaging techniques are discussed including RGB, hyperspectral, thermal, PRI, chlorophyll fluorescence, ROS, and chromosome imaging. The book also covers the use of these techniques in assessing plant growth, early detection of disease and stress, fruit crop yield, plant chromosome analysis, plant phenotyping, and nutrient status both in vivo and in vitro.
The book is an authoritative guide for researchers and those teaching in the fields of stress physiology, precision agriculture, agricultural biotechnology, and cell and developmental biology. Graduate students and professionals using machine vision in plant science will also benefit from this comprehensive resource.
