Digital Phenotyping in Plant Breeding: Evaluating Relative Maturity, Stand Count, and Plant Height in Dry Beans via RGB Drone-Based Imagery and Deep Learning Approaches
Description
The datasets included were collected from the MSU dry bean breeding project sites in planting seasons 2020, 2021 and 2022. Specific planting season includes the digital surface models (DSM), digital terrain model (DTM) or point cloud (PC) from above and soil level generated using the raw images, plot boundary delimitations (.shp), and the ground-truth notes to plant height (PH) estimation.

For general information or questions about the UAS-based imagery analysis to estimate plant height (PH), please contact leo.agroufv@gmail.com (Leonardo Volpato).
A pipeline software tool and scripts for data extraction and analysis were developed to accomplish the activities ranging from image capture to statistical analysis of extracted features. The plant height (PlantHeightR) R shiny software can be accessed at https://github.com/msudrybeanbreeding/PlantHeightR
The UAS-based PH date scripts and processes used to perform the image analyses and trait extract are available at https://github.com/msudrybeanbreeding?tab=repositories.
