by Jez,Jakub Feb. 27, 2019

Feb. 27, 2019

Dear friends! We have just fixed the date and location for the 3rd Austrian Plant Phenotyping Network (APPN) meeting! Date: Thursday, 13th June 2019 Venue: BOKU Vienna, Festsaal, main building Please save the date! Last year we put emphasis on root phenotyping (https://www.appn.at/2ndappn_eppn2020-2/) this year the main focus will be (although not exclusively) on FIELD PHENOTYPING. Other plant phenotyping topics (controlled environments, root phenotyping and others) will be covered by the respective sessions and based on the received abstracts. Details, and the registration page will be open soon on www.appn.at<http://www.appn.at> Looking forward to receiving your abstracts and meeting you in June!

WG:8th IPPN Imaging for Phenotyping Webinar - Easy phenotyping - 24 January 16:00
by Jez,Jakub Jan. 16, 2019

Jan. 16, 2019

FYI, Best, Jakub -------- Originalnachricht -------- Betreff: 8th IPPN Imaging for Phenotyping Webinar - Easy phenotyping - 24 January 16:00 Von: FM-ippn An: FM-ippn Cc: Dear colleagues interested in imaging and plant phenotyping, On the 24th of January at 16.00 (UTC+01:00) the IPPN - 'Imaging for phenotyping'-working group will have its 8th online webinar to easily share new research results with everybody interested world-wide. The 8th presenter will be Wei GUO, Ph.D (The University of Tokyo) / moderator: Rick van de Zedde (WUR) Title: Easy Plant Phenotyping by using Image processing and machine learning techniques Abstract: Developments of high-throughput plant phenotyping technologies have been dramatically accelerated by advanced image sensing and analyzing techniques. However, plant scientists still meet difficulties when they try to apply such technologies practically. For example, to train an object detection deep learning model requires manual annotations of a huge amount of images. In this webinar, Wei will introduce the lessons his team learned from various case studies and share the experience they gain. At last, Wei will also propose some of his ideas on how to expand the challenges with images for more practical data such as 3D point clouds or images acquired from field conditions, as well as how to provide easy-to-use solutions to the community. CV: Wei GUO is currently working as an Assistant professor at The University of Tokyo, Japan. He participated in the establishment of “International Field Phenomics Research Laboratory”, the first plant phenomics laboratory in Japan in 2017 as a core member. His researches focus on field-based phenotyping by using advanced sensing platforms and technologies such as drones and ground robots, image processing and machine learning approaches.

Hyperspectral root imaging system available at the BOKU
by Jez,Jakub Oct. 5, 2018

Oct. 5, 2018

On behalf of Gernot Bodner: Dear root research-, imaging and phenotyping colleagues, Finally we have established our "Hyperspectral root imaging system" at BOKU. The system allows imaging of plant roots up to more advanced development stages (about 1 meter rooting depth) in the near infrared range (900-1700 nm; 256 bands) and provides a spatial resolution of 0.1 mm. https://plantmethods.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13007-018-0352-1 The NIR imaging particularly allows comparatively high resolution water mapping in the root zone to study water uptake/depletion of single root axes; potentially the spectral features can be used to detect a range of different chemical properties of root and soil encoded in spectral features. In case of interest, don't hesitate to contact us for any possible application. We would be happy to show the system working and extend its usability for the root research/phenotyping community.
