Cotton Project
High-Throughput phenotyping of cotton plants
Phenotype measurements of a cotton plant (such as height and of number of cotton bolls) are currently carried out by hand. This project's goal is to allow for automatic detection and measurement of those features. To accomplish its goals, the project implements image processing and machine learning techniques. The images are captured by cameras mounted on a robot:
