Description
The Plant Computer Vision (PlantCV) software package, is an image processing toolkit for plant phenotyping analysis. The goal of the PlantCV project is to develop a set of modular, reusable, and repurposable tools for plant image analysis that are open-source and community-developed.
PlantCV v2 is the second major release of PlantCV. In addition to overall improvements in the organization of the PlantCV project, new functionality includes a set of new image processing and normalization tools, support for analyzing images that include multiple plants, leaf segmentation, landmark identification tools for morphometrics, and modules for machine learning.
PlantCV is composed of modular functions in order to be applicable to a variety of plant types and imaging systems. PlantCV currently supports the analysis of standard RGB color images (aka "VIS"), standard grayscale images (e.g. near-infrared, "NIR"), thermal infrared images, grayscale images from chlorophyll fluorescence imaging systems ("PSII"), and hyperspectral ("ENVI") images.
