Field validation study demonstrates accurate optical measurement of grape stem diameter, suggesting continuous tracking can detect plant physiological disorders.
This study presented a novel non-contact optical measuing method for grape stem diameter in fields. The main algorithm contained 3 steps: saperation of the stem from background, determination of the stem segment, and the computation of stem diameter. The experiments conducted in field not only validated the effectiveness, but also proved the high accuracy of the optical measuring system. And our further experimental results showed that the continuous measurement of grape stem diameter can provide periodic data for the analysis of physiological disorders in grapes.
