Field phenomics encompasses the measurement of phenotypes that occur in both cultivated and natural conditions, whereas controlled environment phenomics research involves the use of glass houses, growth chambers, and other systems where growth conditions can be manipulated.
A diverse set of computer vision methods exist to analyze 2D and 3D imaging data of plants.
These methods are available to the community in various implementations, ranging from end-user ready cyber-platforms in the cloud such as DIRT[10] and PlantIt[11] to programming frameworks for software developers such as PlantCV.
The International Plant Phenotyping Network (IPPN)[13] is an organization that seeks to enable exchange of knowledge, information, and expertise across many disciplines involved in plant phenomics by providing a network linking members, platform operators, users, research groups, developers, and policy makers.
EMPHASIS aims to promote future food security and agricultural business in a changing climate by enabling scientists to better understand plant performance and translate this knowledge into application.
