Dimitris Zermas, Vassilios Morellas, David J. Mulla, Nikos Papanikolopoulos

Abstract: Highlights•Perform automatic extraction of phenotypic traits for individual plants on a 3D model.•Point cloud processing algorithms take advantage of geometry and topology of crop.•Compute LAI, stand count, height, leaf length, inter-nodal distance, and leaf angle.•Experiments on artificial and real in-field corn plants.
