Abstract

Plant phenotyping has garnered major attention in recent years, leading to developing new strategies to measure and assess plant traits of interest. For data acquisition of large fields, devices and sensors are required that deliver detailed and reproducible temporal and spatial information on the cultivated crop. This work proposes the potential use of low-cost light drones for in-field phenotyping applications on cereal crops. The proposed method allows to obtain precise measurements of color and height of the plants for the individual plots. The method is based on a color calibration algorithm (TPS-3D interpolating function) and a 3D ortho image reconstruction. The method has been applied on an experimental field with durum and soft wheat parcels obtaining information on real color (with an error lower than 12/256) and height for each single plot.
