The Semi-Automated Compact Multi-Sensor Phenotyping System

Image and Data Acquisition

• The PhenoAIxpert HTC delivers data wherever multi-dimensional phenotyping at increased throughput is required. Applications comprise but are not limited to:

• Candidate screening in plant breeding

• Assessment of responses to environmental factors

• Testing active agents in plant protection

• Plant stress and plant pathology assessments

• Measuring responses to biostimulants and fertilizers

• Plant developmental studies in research

Key Features of the PhenoAIxpert HTC

• All major phenotyping cameras and sensors are available

  - RGB (top view 28.8 Megapixel and side view 12.4 Megapixel imaging, including turning the plant in front of the lens)

  - Chlorophyll fluorescence 1.4 Megapixel imaging with 50 cm x 40 cm field of view top view imaging, 10,000 µmol m-2 s-1 saturation pulse, F0, FM, F’, FM’, F0’ and FM” imaging

  - Hyperspectral imaging VNIR 400-1000 nm, SWIR 900-1700 nm; top and side view, including turning the plant in front of the lens

  - 3D Laser Scan: X-Field of view up to 842 mm. Z Range up to 800 mm and resolution 500 µm. Z-Resolution 25.1 µm, top and side view, including turning the plant in front of the scanner

  - Simultaneous scan of both hyperspectral cameras and laser scanner possible

• Image processing capabilities for each sensor type

• Plants on conveyor passing by imaging stations; system takes measurements of pre-loaded plants

• Automatic measuring of up to 12 plants in one run

• Maximum flexibility of plant height due to lifting mechanism for optimal distance to the camera

• Plants or seedlings in pots or trays
