This software partially analyses images taken by the Medium to Large dynamic phenotyping platform at the NPPC.
This software is based on several earlier versions of PAT64V3 in order to correctly analyse images taken with white or black backgrounds. It has also been ported to run on Linux (though it is likely to compile and run correctly on Unix systems and MS Windows with little to no modification).
PAT64V3 will calculate things like the height of the plant, as well as the area presented to the camera.
This software depends on OpenCV, Boost.Filesystem, and compiles with GCC.
To compile, ensure that the dependencies exist on your system and run make all in the project directory. This will produce three executables:
PAT32_wb, PAT32_bb and PAT32_clover for analysing data from the Medium to Large dynamic phenotyping platform taken against white and dark backgrounds
as well as data taken from clover grown in gutters respectively.
This software was initially written by Dr. Jiwan Han. It was refactored, ported and the file handling and I/O operations rewritten by Maximilian Friedersdorff
