This year’s edition, just like last year's, was fully booked. Participants from all over the world travelled to Wageningen to learn more about phenotyping: thirty-eight participants from eleven countries, coming from Europe (53%), Asia (31%) and America (15%). The programme consisted of lectures, demonstrations, tours & hands-on training for researchers working on automatic phenotyping and technical experts in breeding companies who use, or plan to use, image analysis.
The course leaders Gerrit Polder and Rick van de Zedde together with colleagues from Wageningen University & Research and guest speakers from industry and research institutes provided a diverse programme regarding the following subjects:
- Images and image quality
- Noise and image enhancement
- Segmentation
- Multi- and hyperspectral imaging
- Deep learning, convolutional neural networks
- Lab session 3D data analysis / interpretation
- Lab segmentation
- Open session and case studies
