Canopy color and structure can strongly reflect plant functions. Color characteristics and plant height as well as canopy breadth are important aspects of the canopy phenotype of soybean plants. High-throughput phenotyping systems with imaging capabilities providing color and depth information can rapidly acquire data of soybean plants, making it possible to quantify and monitor soybean canopy development. The goal of this study was to develop a 3D imaging approach to quantitatively analyze soybean canopy development under natural light conditions. Thus, a Kinect sensor-based high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) platform was developed for soybean plant phenotyping. To calculate color traits accurately, the distortion phenomenon of color images was first registered in accordance with the principle of three primary colors and color constancy. Then, the registered color images were applied to depth images for the reconstruction of the colorized three-dimensional canopy structure. Furthermore, the 3D point cloud of soybean canopies was extracted from the background according to adjusted threshold, and each area of individual potted soybean plants in the depth images was segmented for the calculation of phenotypic traits. Finally, color indices, plant height and canopy breadth were assessed based on 3D point cloud of soybean canopies. The results showed that the maximum error of registration for the R, G, and B bands in the dataset was 1.26%, 1.09%, and 0.75%, respectively. Correlation analysis between the sensors and manual measurements yielded R2 values of 0.99, 0.89, and 0.89 for plant height, canopy breadth in the west-east (W–E) direction, and canopy breadth in the north-south (N–S) direction, and R2 values of 0.82, 0.79, and 0.80 for color indices h, s, and i, respectively. Given these results, the proposed approaches provide new opportunities for the identification of the quantitative traits that control canopy structure in genetic/genomic studies or for soybean yield prediction in breeding programs.

Sensor-based phenotyping technologies may offer a non-destructive, high-throughput and efficient assessment of herbage yield (HY) to replace current inefficient phenotyping methods. This paper assesses the feasibility of combining normalised difference vegetative index (NDVI) from multispectral imaging and ultrasonic sonar estimates of plant height to estimate HY of single plants in a large perennial ryegrass breeding program. For sensor calibration, fresh HY (FHY) and dry HY (DHY) were acquired destructively, and plant height was measured at four dates each in 2017 and 2018 from a selected subset of 480 plants. Global multiple linear regression models based on K-fold and random split cross-validation methods were used to evaluate the relationship between observed vs. predicted HY. The coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.67–0.68 and a root mean square error (RMSE) between 5.43–7.60 g was obtained for the validation of predicted vs. observed DHY. The mean absolute error (MAE) and mean percentage error (MPE) ranged between 3.59–5.44 g and 22–28%, respectively. For the FHY, R2 values ranged from 0.63 to 0.70, with an RMSE between 23.50 and 33 g, MAE between 15.11 and 24.34 g and MPE between ~22% and 31%. Combining NDVI and plant height is a robust method to enable high-throughput phenotyping of herbage yield in perennial ryegrass breeding programs.
