Deep learning for multi-task plant phenotyping (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Pound, M. P., Atkinson, J. A., Wells, D. M., Pridmore, T. P., & French, A. P. (2017). Deep learning for multi-task plant phenotyping. In Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), 2017 (2055-2063). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICCVW.2017.241

Plant phenotyping has continued to pose a challenge to computer vision for many years. There is a particular demand to accurately quantify images of crops, and the natural variability and structure of these plants presents unique difficulties. Recent...

Deep machine learning provides state-of-the-art performance in image-based plant phenotyping (2017)
Journal Article
Pound, M. P., Atkinson, J. A., Townsend, A. J., Wilson, M. H., Griffiths, M., Jackson, A. S., …French, A. P. (2017). Deep machine learning provides state-of-the-art performance in image-based plant phenotyping. GigaScience, 6(10), Article gix083. https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/gix083

© The Author 2017. In plant phenotyping, it has become important to be able to measure many features on large image sets in order to aid genetic discovery. The size of the datasets, now often captured robotically, often precludes manual inspection, h...

AutoRoot: open-source software employing a novel image analysis approach to support fully-automated plant phenotyping (2017)
Journal Article
Pound, M. P., Fozard, S., Torres Torres, M., Forde, B. G., & French, A. P. (2017). AutoRoot: open-source software employing a novel image analysis approach to support fully-automated plant phenotyping. Plant Methods, 13(1), Article 12. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-017-0161-y

Background: Computer-based phenotyping of plants has risen in importance in recent years. Whilst much software has been written to aid phenotyping using image analysis, to date the vast majority has been only semi-automatic. However, such interaction...

The Microphenotron: a robotic miniaturized plant phenotyping platform with diverse applications in chemical biology (2017)
Journal Article
Burrell, T., Fozard, S., Holroyd, G. H., French, A. P., Pound, M. P., Bigley, C. J., …Forde, B. G. (2017). The Microphenotron: a robotic miniaturized plant phenotyping platform with diverse applications in chemical biology. Plant Methods, 13(1), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-017-0158-6

Background Chemical genetics provides a powerful alternative to conventional genetics for understanding gene function. However, its application to plants has been limited by the lack of a technology that allows detailed phenotyping of whole-seedling...

Image-based 3D canopy reconstruction to determine potential productivity in complex multi-species crop systems (2017)
Journal Article
Burgess, A. J., Retkute, R., Pound, M. P., Mayes, S., & Murchie, E. H. (2017). Image-based 3D canopy reconstruction to determine potential productivity in complex multi-species crop systems. Annals of Botany, 119(4), 517-532. https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcw242

Background and Aims: Intercropping systems contain two or more species simultaneously in close proximity. Due to contrasting features of the component crops, quantification of the light environment and photosynthetic productivity is extremely difficu...
