Multi-modality Remote Sensing Data Acquisition and Analysis for High Throughput Phenotyping
Sensing technologies ranging from RGB cameras to hyperspectral imaging and LiDAR are rapidly gaining popularity for field-based high throughput phenotyping applications on airborne and ground-based platforms. In addition to direct measurements of traditional phenotypes such as height, these sensors potentially provide surrogate measurements for plant structural characteristics (e.g. leaf count and leaf area index) and chemistry (e.g. photosynthesis, and plant stress). Opportunities and challenges associated with acquisition, processing, and analysis of high resolution RGB, VNIR/SWIR hyperspectral data, and discrete return LiDAR data acquired from UAVs for plant breeding experiments focused on advancing sorghum varieties for biofuels will be outlined. Results from multi-modality, multi-temporal predictive modeling of complex phenotypes such as biomass using data driven machine learning and biophysical models will also be presented in the context of feature extraction and learning with limited training data. Opportunities to exploit transfer learning across scales will also be discussed.
About the Speaker
