Convolutional Neural Networks for Image-Based High-Throughput Plant Phenotyping: A Review

Plant phenotyping has been recognized as a bottleneck for improving the efficiency of breeding programs, understanding plant-environment interactions, and managing agricultural systems. In the past five years, imaging approaches have shown great potential for high-throughput plant phenotyping, resul...
