Invitation: APPN Workshop on Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging powered by PHENOSPEX
by Jez,Jakub July 20, 2017

July 20, 2017

Dear colleagues, It is a great pleasure to invite you to the APPN<http://www.appn.at/> Workshop on Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging which will take place October 12th & 13th 2017 at the Vienna Biocenter. For the workshop, PHENOSPEX will visit the VBC with their new PlantEye F500 device and perform multispectral 3D scans of your samples. Your plants will be grown at the VBCF PlantS Facility and scanned one day before the workshop. Therefore, we need to receive your seeds in advance (deadline_1). Hands-on data analysis will be performed during the workshop - follow-up discussion of derived results will be discussed on the second day in individual meetings. “PlantEye F500 is a 3D laser scanner combined with multispectral information. It generates 3D point clouds of plants in high resolution and combines it on the fly with a 4-channel multispectral camera in the range of 400-900nm. This unique sensor fusion concept delivers spectral information for each data point and automatically computes a diverse set of validated morphological plant parameters.” Key dates: Workshop: 12th Oct. 20017 Discussion of results: 13th Oct. 2017 Registration: www.appn.at/registration<http://www.appn.at/registration> Deadline_1: 1st Sept. 2017 (if you want your samples to be scanned) Deadline_2: 1st Oct. 2017 (general registration deadline) Please note that there is a limited number of participants – the first come first serve principle applies. Attached to this email please find the workshop flyer for publishing. Please help us to spread the news! We are very much looking forward to meeting you at the Vienna Biocenter in October!

I’ve also attached slides that any of you can use to promote our COST action and the upcoming event in Portugal. The fully booked Summer School Plant Phenotyping took place from 12 till 15 July. This year for the first time at the Wageningen UR campus. 45 participants participated in this special program organized together by The Centre for Plant Integrative Biology (CPIB) from the university of Nottingham and Wageningen UR. The diverse group of participants (22 nationalities and half from industry) learned in four days everything about the latest imaging techniques in plant phenotyping. The participants from industry were for instance from breeding companies like Enza Zaden, Bayer, Anthura, RijkZwaan and from other relevant stake holders for our COST action. During the course we took plenty of time for practical experiments, questions, discussions and social interaction with the teachers from Wageningen UR, Nottingham, guest speakers and sponsors (PhenoSpex<http://phenospex.com/>, LemnaTec<http://www.lemnatec.com/>, PSI<http://www.psi.cz/>, Avantes<http://www.avantes.com/>, DataVision<http://batenburg-mechatronica.nl/datavision>, SpectraPartners<http://www.spectrapartners.nl/>, Syngenta<http://www4.syngenta.com/>, Pixelteq<http://pixelteq.com/>).
