Automatic Phenotyping Systems for Agricultural Research in Different Modes
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Agricultural Research - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Automatic controlled environment phenotyping systems for agricultural research have been constructed in both industry and academia in the past 10 years, with diverse capabilities and applications. In this brief opinion article, we introduce different modes of automatic phenotyping, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each mode for different research goals.
