Popis: High throughput phenotyping is rapidly gaining widespread popularity due to its ability to non-destructively extract plant traits, such as plant height, canopy density, leaf and plant structure, and so on. In this study, we focus on developing a UAV-based LiDAR system to acquire accurate time-series 3D point clouds for monitoring two specific plant traits - plant height and canopy cover - which are integral for enhancing crop genetic improvement to meet the needs of future generations. Furthermore, the obtained estimates are validated by comparing the results with those obtained from wheel-based LiDAR data.
