Plant phenotyping is the identification of effects on the phenotype (i.e., the plant appearance and behavior) as a result of genotype differences (i.e., differences in the genetic code) and the environment. Previously, the process of taking phenotypic measurements has been laborious, costly, and time-consuming. In recent years, noninvasive, imagingbased methods have become more common. These images are recorded by a range of capture devices from small embedded camera systems to multi-million Euro smart greenhouses, at scales ranging from microscopic images of cells, to entire fields captured by UAV imaging.These images need to be analyzed in a high-throughput, robust, and accurate manner. UN-FAO statistics show that according to current population predictions we will need to achieve a 70 % increase in food productivity by 2050, simply to maintain current global agricultural demands.
