PhenoBench: A Large Dataset and Benchmarks for Semantic Image Interpretation in the Agricultural Domain.

The production of food, feed, fiber, and fuel is a key task of agriculture, which has to cope with many challenges in the upcoming decades, e.g., a higher demand, climate change, lack of workers, and the availability of arable land.

A 3D printed plant model for accurate and reliable 3D plant phenotyping.

Background: This study addresses the importance of precise referencing in 3-dimensional (3D) plant phenotyping, which is crucial for advancing plant breeding and improving crop production. Traditionally, reference data in plant phenotyping rely on invasive methods. Recent advancements in 3D sensing technologies offer the possibility to collect parameters that cannot be referenced by manual measurements.

VDBFusion: Flexible and Efficient TSDF Integration of Range Sensor Data.

Mapping is a crucial task in robotics and a fundamental building block of most mobile systems deployed in the real world. Robots use different environment representations depending on their task and sensor setup. This paper showcases a practical approach to volumetric surface reconstruction based on truncated signed distance functions, also called TSDFs.

Pheno4D: A spatio-temporal dataset of maize and tomato plant point clouds for phenotyping and advanced plant analysis.

Understanding the growth and development of individual plants is of central importance in modern agriculture, crop breeding, and crop science. To this end, using 3D data for plant analysis has gained attention over the last years. High-resolution point clouds offer the potential to derive a variety of plant traits, such as plant height, biomass, as well as the number and size of relevant plant organs.

Registration of spatio-temporal point clouds of plants for phenotyping.

Plant phenotyping is a central task in crop science and plant breeding. It involves measuring plant traits to describe the anatomy and physiology of plants and is used for deriving traits and evaluating plant performance. Traditional methods for phenotyping are often time-consuming operations involving substantial manual labor.
