Description: Phenotypic data has always been time consuming and difficult to obtain so it has often been ignored in large trial environments.  Image analytics offers previously unattainable access to much finer grained resolution into how different varieties perform .  Drones and tractor mounted sensor arrays have changed the game with efficiency, speed and accuracy of assessments.  In this discussion we will share a user case that highlights some of the key values of incorporating image analytics into your product assessment programs.

Why it Matters to the Seed Industry: Every time you plant seeds with the goal of evaluating the most valuable cultivars and varieties, you want to gather as much information as possible on each entry.  For all phenotypic assessments - Image analytics makes this process much more principled and efficient. Hiphen is focused on applying image analytics to help product developers realize the significant potential of new germplasm, varieties and cultivars to contribute to the agricultural challenges of the 21st century.
