The effect of canopy architecture on the patterning of “windflecks” within a wheat canopy (2021)
Journal Article
Burgess, A. J., Durand, M., Retkute, R., Gibbs, J. A., Robson, T. M., & Murchie, E. H. (2021). The effect of canopy architecture on the patterning of “windflecks” within a wheat canopy. Plant, Cell and Environment, 44(11), 3524-3537. https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.14168

Under field conditions, plants are subject to wind-induced movement which creates fluctuations of light intensity and spectral quality reaching the leaves, defined here as windflecks. Within this study, irradiance within two contrasting wheat (Tritic... Read More about The effect of canopy architecture on the patterning of “windflecks” within a wheat canopy.

Recovering Wind-induced Plant motion in Dense Field Environments via Deep Learning and Multiple Object Tracking (2019)
Journal Article
Gibbs, J. A., Burgess, A. J., Pound, M. P., Pridmore, T. P., & Murchie, E. H. (2019). Recovering Wind-induced Plant motion in Dense Field Environments via Deep Learning and Multiple Object Tracking. Plant Physiology, 181, 28-42. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.19.00141

Understanding the relationships between local environmental conditions and plant structure and function is critical for both fundamental science and for improving the performance of crops in field settings. Wind-induced plant motion is important in m... Read More about Recovering Wind-induced Plant motion in Dense Field Environments via Deep Learning and Multiple Object Tracking.

Active Vision and Surface Reconstruction for 3D Plant Shoot Modelling (2019)
Journal Article
Gibbs, J., French, A., Murchie, E., Wells, D., Pound, M., & Pridmore, T. (2020). Active Vision and Surface Reconstruction for 3D Plant Shoot Modelling. IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, 17(6), 1907-1917. https://doi.org/10.1109/TCBB.2019.2896908

Plant phenotyping is the quantitative description of a plant’s physiological, biochemical and anatomical status which can be used in trait selection and helps to provide mechanisms to link underlying genetics with yield. Here, an active vision- based... Read More about Active Vision and Surface Reconstruction for 3D Plant Shoot Modelling.

A canopy conundrum: can wind-induced movement help to increase crop productivity by relieving photosynthetic limitations? (2019)
Journal Article
Burgess, A. J., Gibbs, J. A., & Murchie, E. H. (2019). A canopy conundrum: can wind-induced movement help to increase crop productivity by relieving photosynthetic limitations?. Journal of Experimental Botany, 70(9), 2371-2380. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/ery424

Wind-induced movement is a ubiquitous occurrence for all plants grown in natural or agricultural settings and in the context of high, damaging wind speeds it has been well studied. However, the impact of lower wind speeds (that do not cause any damag...

Plant phenotyping: an active vision cell for three-dimensional plant shoot reconstruction (2018)
Journal Article
Gibbs, J., Pound, M., French, A. P., Wells, D. M., Murchie, E., & Pridmore, T. (2018). Plant phenotyping: an active vision cell for three-dimensional plant shoot reconstruction. Plant Physiology, 178(2), 524-534. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.18.00664

© 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists. All rights reserved. Three-dimensional (3D) computer-generated models of plants are urgently needed to support both phenotyping and simulation-based studies such as photosynthesis modeling. However, the co...

Approaches to three-dimensional reconstruction of plant shoot topology and geometry (2016)
Journal Article
Gibbs, J., Pound, M. P., French, A. P., Wells, D. M., Murchie, E. H., & Pridmore, T. P. (2016). Approaches to three-dimensional reconstruction of plant shoot topology and geometry. Functional Plant Biology, 44(1), 62-75. https://doi.org/10.1071/FP16167

There are currently 805 million people classified as chronically undernourished, and yet the World’s population is still increasing. At the same time, global warming is causing more frequent and severe flooding and drought, thus destroying crops and...

Three-dimensional reconstruction of plant shoots from multiple images using an active vision system (2015)
Journal Article
Gibbs, J., Pound, M. P., Wells, D. M., Murchie, E. H., French, A. P., & Pridmore, T. P. (2015). Three-dimensional reconstruction of plant shoots from multiple images using an active vision system

The reconstruction of 3D models of plant shoots is a challenging problem central to the emerging discipline of plant phenomics – the quantitative measurement of plant structure and function. Current approaches are, however, often limited by the use o... Read More about Three-dimensional reconstruction of plant shoots from multiple images using an active vision system.
