Abstract: High-resolution cameras have become very helpful for plant phenotyping by providing a mechanism for tasks such as target versus background discrimination, and the measurement and analysis of fine-above-ground plant attributes. However, the acquisition of high-resolution (HR) imagery of plant roots is more challenging than above-ground data collection. Thus, an effective super-resolution (SR) algorithm is […]

Congratulations to GatorSense alumna, Xiaoxiao Du!  Her paper, titled “Multi-resolution Multi-modal Sensor Fusion For Remote Sensing Data with Label Uncertainty”, was recently published in IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing.   Check it out here!

Abstract: In remote sensing, it is often challenging to acquire or collect a large dataset that is accurately labeled. This difficulty is usually due to several issues, including but not limited to the study site’s spatial area and accessibility, errors in the global positioning system (GPS), and mixed pixels caused by an image’s spatial resolution. […]

Machine Learning and Sensing Lab Alumni, Anand Seethepalli, and collaborators recently had a paper accepted to Plant Phenomics.  The article discusses an innovative platform to help collect consistent images of root crowns for phenotyping.  Check it out here! 

Abstract: Seed maturity in peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) determines economic return to a producer because of its impact on seed weight, and critically influences seed vigor and other quality characteristics. During seed development, the inner mesocarp layer of the pericarp (hull) transitions in color from white to black as the seed matures. The maturity […]

Abstract: A critical component for enhancing productivity and quality of food and fiber is the ability to quickly detect and monitor plant diseases in order to prevent or minimize losses to agricultural and forest products (Mahlein 2016). The earlier (prior to or at first symptoms) the diseases can be detected, the lower the risk of control […]

Abstract: Accurate knowledge of seasonal and inter-annual distributions of plant species is required for many research and management agendas that track ecosystem health. Airborne imaging spectroscopy data have been used successfully to map plant species, but often only in a single season or over a limited spatial extent due to data availability. NASA’s Hyperspectral Infrared […]

Abstract: The thermal domain (TIR; 2.5–15 μm) delivers unique measurements of plant characteristics that are not possible in other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, these TIR measurements have largely been restricted to laboratory leaf level or coarse spatial resolutions due to the lack of suitable data from airborne and spaceborne instruments. The airborne Hyperspectral […]

Abstract: In June 2018, the ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) mission was launched to measure plant temperatures and better understand how they respond to stress. While the ECOSTRESS mission delivers imagery with ~60 m spatial resolution, it is often useful to have spectra at the leaf level in order to explain […]

Abstract: Remote sensing can transform the speed, scale, and cost of biodiversity and forestry surveys. Data acquisition currently outpaces the ability to identify individual organisms in high resolution imagery. We outline an approach for identifying tree-crowns in true color, or red/green blue (RGB) imagery using a deep learning detection network. Individual crown delineation is a […]
