However, virtual 3D canopy models (VCMs) have often been used to quantify canopy light interception because realistic 3D canopy models (RCMs) are difficult to obtain in the field. This study aims to compare the differences in light interception between VCMs and RCM. A realistic 3D maize canopy model (RCM) was reconstructed over a large area of the field using an advanced unmanned aerial vehicle cross-circling oblique (CCO) route and the structure from motion-multi-view stereo method. Three types of VCMs (VCM-1, VCM-4, and VCM-8) were then created by replicating 1, 4, and 8 individual realistic plants constructed by CCO in the center of the corresponding RCM. The daily light interception per unit area (DLI), as computed for the 3 VCMs, exhibited marked deviation from the RCM, as evinced by the relative root mean square error (rRMSE) values of 20.22%, 17.38%, and 15.48%, respectively. Although this difference decreased as the number of plants used to replicate the virtual canopy increased, rRMSE of DLI for VCM-8 and RCM still reached 15.48%. It was also found that the difference in light interception between RCMs and VCMs was substantially smaller in the early stage (48 days after sowing [DAS]) than in the late stage (70 DAS).

Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of wheat yellow rust on reflectance measurements and nitrogen status assessment. A multi-sensor mobile platform was utilized to capture RGB and multispectral images throughout a 2-year fertilization-fungicide trial. To identify disease-induced damage, the SegVeg approach, which combines a U-NET architecture and a pixel-wise classifier, was applied to RGB images, generating a mask capable of distinguishing between healthy and damaged areas of the leaves. The observed proportion of damage in the images demonstrated similar effectiveness to visual scoring methods in explaining grain yield. Furthermore, the study discovered that the disease not only affected reflectance through leaf damage but also influenced the reflectance of healthy areas by disrupting the overall nitrogen status of the plants. This emphasizes the importance of incorporating disease impact into reflectance-based decision support tools to account for its effects on spectral data. This effect was successfully mitigated by employing the NDRE vegetation index calculated exclusively from the healthy portions of the leaves or by incorporating the proportion of damage into the model.

Here, we present an image processing methodology that enables the monitoring of chlorosis and necrosis separately for ears and shoots (stems + leaves) based on deep learning models for semantic segmentation and color properties of vegetation. A vegetation segmentation model was trained using semisynthetic training data generated using image composition and generative adversarial neural networks, which greatly reduced the risk of annotation uncertainties and annotation effort.

However, due to data degradation caused by different conditions of image acquisition, e.g., laboratory vs. field environment, machine learning-based recognition models generated within a specific dataset (source domain) tend to lose their validity when generalized to a novel dataset (target domain). To this end, domain adaptation methods can be leveraged for the recognition by learning invariant representations across domains. In this paper, we aim at addressing the issues of domain shift existing in plant disease recognition and propose a novel unsupervised domain adaptation method via uncertainty regularization, namely, Multi-Representation Subdomain Adaptation Network with Uncertainty Regularization for Cross-Species Plant Disease Classification (MSUN). Our simple but effective MSUN makes a breakthrough in plant disease recognition in the wild by using a large amount of unlabeled data and via nonadversarial training. Specifically, MSUN comprises multirepresentation, subdomain adaptation modules and auxiliary uncertainty regularization. The multirepresentation module enables MSUN to learn the overall structure of features and also focus on capturing more details by using the multiple representations of the source domain. This effectively alleviates the problem of large interdomain discrepancy. Subdomain adaptation is used to capture discriminative properties by addressing the issue of higher interclass similarity and lower intraclass variation. Finally, the auxiliary uncertainty regularization effectively suppresses the uncertainty problem due to domain transfer. MSUN was experimentally validated to achieve optimal results on the PlantDoc, Plant-Pathology, Corn-Leaf-Diseases, and Tomato-Leaf-Diseases datasets, with accuracies of 56.06%, 72.31%, 96.78%, and 50.58%, respectively, surpassing other state-of-the-art domain adaptation techniques considerably.</p>","PeriodicalId":20318,"journal":{"name":"Plant Phenomics","volume":"5 ","pages":"0038"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10059679/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9616851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
