Abstract

At the National Seed Storage Laboratory, a color image database is being developed to characterize the phenotypic variations of genetic resources, specifically seeds. In order to collect seed characteristics such as size, shape, color, surface pattern, etc., a 3-D image measurement technique was developed using 2-D images. This information is needed to visualize all aspects of the seed characteristics in order to develop a germplasm inventory. Image processing techniques were developed to extract the key seed features. With this information, seed scientists will possess a tool capable of providing more precise data on seed genetic variability.
