Computer vision-based phenotyping for improvement of plant productivity: a machine learning perspective.

GigaScience
Employing computer vision to extract useful information from images and videos is becoming a key technique for identifying phenotypic changes in plants. Here, we review the emerging aspects of computer vision for automated plant phenotyping. Recent a...

A novel method for predicting cadmium concentration in rice grain using genetic algorithm and back-propagation neural network based on soil properties.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Heavy metal pollution is a global ecological safety issue, especially in crops, where it directly threatens regional ecological security and human health. In this study, the back-propagation (BP) neural network optimized by the genetic algorithm (GA)...

Support Vector Machine Optimized by Genetic Algorithm for Data Analysis of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Near-infrared (NIR) spectral sensors deliver the spectral response of the light absorbed by materials for quantification, qualification or identification. Spectral analysis technology based on the NIR sensor has been a useful tool for complex informa...

Crowdsourcing image analysis for plant phenomics to generate ground truth data for machine learning.

PLoS computational biology
The accuracy of machine learning tasks critically depends on high quality ground truth data. Therefore, in many cases, producing good ground truth data typically involves trained professionals; however, this can be costly in time, effort, and money. ...

Robotic bees for crop pollination: Why drones cannot replace biodiversity.

The Science of the total environment
The notion that robotic crop pollination will solve the decline in pollinators has gained wide popularity recently (Fig. 1), and in March 2018 Walmart filed a patent for autonomous robot bees. However, w present six arguments showing that this is a t...

Vineyard water status assessment using on-the-go thermal imaging and machine learning.

PloS one
The high impact of irrigation in crop quality and yield in grapevine makes the development of plant water status monitoring systems an essential issue in the context of sustainable viticulture. This study presents an on-the-go approach for the estima...

Effects and inhibition mechanism of phenazine-1-carboxamide on the mycelial morphology and ultrastructure of Rhizoctonia solani.

Pesticide biochemistry and physiology
The purpose of this research was to explore the effect of phenazine-1-carboxamide (PCN) on Rhizoctonia solani and to elucidate its mechanisms of action. The toxicity of PCN to R. solani was measured using a growth rate method. The results indicated t...

Machine Learning Techniques for Predicting Crop Photosynthetic Capacity from Leaf Reflectance Spectra.

Molecular plant
Harnessing natural variation in photosynthetic capacity is a promising route toward yield increases, but physiological phenotyping is still too laborious for large-scale genetic screens. Here, we evaluate the potential of leaf reflectance spectroscop...

Fuzzy logic applied to prospecting for areas for installation of wood panel industries.

Journal of environmental management
Prospecting for suitable areas for forestry operations, where the objective is a reduction in production and transportation costs, as well as the maximization of profits and available resources, constitutes an optimization problem. However, fuzzy log...
