Machine Vision Based Phenotype Recognition of Plant and Animal

Phenotype recognition is very important for plant and animal breeding, variety selection, genomics and phenomics. It is likewise a key technology to support the high-quality development of modern agriculture. Machine vision, as a key branch of artificial intelligence technology, is an important mode and means in the field of phenotype recognition. This paper summarizes the concepts and connotations, the technology and application examples of phenotypic visual perception and recognition of plant and animal at present in China, and discusses the problems and challenges of plant and animal phenotype recognition. Finally, this paper looks forward to the future development direction and application of vision-based phenotype recognition technology. The aim of this paper is to provide references for promoting the leap-forward development of agricultural phenotype recognition in China.
