Popis: Automated plant phenotyping can help to monitor the growth process of crops, eliminating the high costs associated with traditional manual approaches. Using low-cost devices (e.g., digital cameras), RGB images can be captured under field or greenhouse conditions to track various phenotypes. In this paper, we focused on a particular task – tracking plant growth by identifying and monitoring plant nodes in greenhouse-grown crops. We used a setup where a digital camera captured images at 1-h intervals, with object detection algorithms employed to facilitate rapid and cost-effective tracking of nodes. The main challenge addressed in this paper involved tracking nodes that were hidden temporarily caused by diurnal leaf movements – leaves obscure some nodes at different times throughout the day. Because a node may be hidden for a few hours but visible at other times during the day, one can predict its location while it is hidden. We proposed two approaches, clustering and linear interpolation, for estimating hidden node locations. We collected a set of greenhouse datasets for different crops and conducted empirical comparisons of our methods. Results showed that our approach predicted the node location with an average error of less than 4 ​cm.
