[HTML][HTML] Using k-NN to analyse images of diverse germination phenotypes and detect single seed germination in Miscanthus sinensis
Miscanthus is a leading second generation bio-energy crop. It is mostly rhizome propagated;
however, the increasing use of seed is resulting in a greater need to investigate germination.
Miscanthus seed are small, germination is often poor and carried out without sterilisation;
therefore, automated methods applied to germination detection must be able to cope with,
for example, thresholding of small objects, low germination frequency and the presence or
absence of mould. Machine learning using k-NN improved the scoring of different …
