Other claims from this paper (8)
- Method / resource YOLO12s-seg achieved a segmentation mask mAP 50 of 99.4% for plants and curds in sparsely planted images.
- Method / resource The model showed an advantage in identifying partially occluded early curds beneath inner leaves.
- Method / resource Traits such as plant canopy width and curd diameter automatically extracted from segmentation were highly consistent with manual measurements (R2 > 0.90).
- Method / resource The Richards model accurately fitted the growth dynamics of leaf area.
- Method / resource The Sine model accurately fitted the growth dynamics of curd area.
- Observation Based on growth kinetics, curds were classified into three types: mature and compact, peak-burst, and steady-increase.
- Observation Cluster analysis of 47 germplasms based on high-throughput phenotyping data revealed four groups with distinct growth characteristics.
- Method / resource A platform for cauliflower growth monitoring and phenotypic analysis was developed, giving full-process support from automatic image processing to growth dynamic analysis.
