Abstract

This paper developed a kind of non-destructive measurement for the growth process of constructed wetland plant: doing image acquisitions of constructed wetland plant regularly through digital camera imaging; introducing image files to computer through interface, displaying them on the screen of computer; developed constructed wetland plant image and growth information extraction software under Visual C++ compiling integrated environment, users could acquire plant contour (realized by image edge recognition) and plant size (characterized by top projected leaf area) through human-machine interactive operation; designed constructed wetland plant (Phragmites communis) experiment to analyze the biomass change during the non-destructive measurement process. The biomass had good correlation with manual measured individual plant height, which proved that computer image processing based non-destructive measurement can provide reliable predictions for plant growth parameters.
