Field‐based individual plant phenotyping of herbaceous species by unmanned aerial vehicle
Abstract Recent advances in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAVs) and image processing have made high‐throughput field phenotyping possible at plot/canopy level in the mass grown experiment. Such techniques are now expected to be used for individual level phenotyping in the single grown experiment. We foun...
