Analysis of sugar beet form and structure based on 3D ground shots
Project
Project code: 0315530A
Contract period: 01.10.2009
- 30.09.2014
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
The objective is developing techniques for model-based 3D reconstruction and classification of storage root geometry from tomographic data, i.e. data obtained from laser scans and MRI. Comparing different cultivars subject to different soil, management and environmental conditions. Furthermore the temporal variation of sugar beet growth is investigated by applying and generalizing regression methods to the space of beets.
The tools are robust and non-supervised, that means they improve previous hand-measured methods and corresponding empirical scales. Furthermore, recent results suggest that the methods are capable to statistically separate genotypic from environmental features. Hence the proposed techniques are relevant and effective tools to optimize plant breeding.
