BIOMETRIC MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

In various embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method of generating crop biometric information in field conditions that includes scanning top surfaces of various plant crown structures of a plurality of plants (30) in one or more rows of plants (30) within a field (34) to collect scan data of the crown structures. Additionally, the method includes converting the scan data into a high spatial resolution 3-dimensional field contour map (58/64) that illustrates an aggregate 3-dimensional field contour of the scanned plants (30). The method further includes extracting, from the high spatial resolution 3-dimensional field contour map (58/64), biometric information relating to the plants in each of one or more selected rows of the scanned rows of plants.
