Automated plant analysis method, apparatus, and system using imaging technologies

摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus, method, software algorithm and system for evaluating plants conditions or characteristics. In one aspect, the method can include imaging at least a portion of plant image discriminating condition(s) characteristic(s) interest. example, soybean roots are imaged is evaluated discriminate between cyst nematode (SCN) cysts count number SCN plant. another embodiment, illuminated by ultra-violet radiation selected cause photo-induced fluorescence target, e.g. cysts. emitted collected analyzed target remainder
