Purdue’s New Plant Sensor and Robot Technologies for Improved Phenotyping Quality
Abstract
Plant phenotyping technologies have been developing rapidly over the last 2 decades. Plant sensors are becoming more accurate, faster, and easier to use. However, there are still bottleneck issues in plant sensing, including the changing environmental conditions, the plant's diurnal activities, and the complicated Genotype-by-Treatment-by-Environment interactions. These issues keep plant phenotyping difficult and limit further application of the sensor technologies in precision agriculture. The ABE Plant Sensor Lab has been working innovatively to develop the next generation sensor technologies to address these issues. In this seminar, Dr. Jin will firstly introduce the four new phenotyping facilities at Purdue, and explain why they were built and how they’ve been successfully used in detecting diseases, nutrients deficiencies, and chemical damages. He will also introduce ABE's most recent plant sensor technologies, including the awards winning handheld leaf scanner LeafSpec, and the new drone and ground-based robots for automatic field phenotyping in different scenarios. Dr. Jin will also share some discovery stories in plant phenotyping, such as how the plants change their colors over the hours during the day, and how to detect nutrient deficiency at an earlier time point.
Bio
Dr. Jian Jin is an associate professor from the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue University. Dr. Jin received his Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering from Iowa State University in 2009. He earned his M.S. degree in Computer Engineering from Denmark Technical University in 2005 and his B.S. degree in Computer Science from Zhejiang University in 2003. Prior to joining Purdue, Dr. Jin conducted research at DuPont Pioneer (now Corteva), where he was most recently a Technology Leader working on crop phenotyping and led a team for the company’s new controlled environment phenotyping systems for automated plant screening. Dr. Jin’s major research interest at Purdue is to develop the next generation plant phenotyping technologies, along with machine vision, image processing, and data modeling. He also has interests in other areas of agricultural sensing, broadly defined, and in automation and robotics in agriculture.
