Description

A rice panicle, the branching head that carries the grains, holds the clues to yield, but measuring it in a muddy field is slow work. Xin Yang and co-authors turn a smartphone video into a precise 3D model of the panicle. Their method, PanicleNeRF, pairs two vision models to cut the panicle out of each frame cleanly.

A neural technique then rebuilds the head in three dimensions from the cut frames. The resulting point cloud beat the standard photogrammetry tools clearly. Panicle length came out within about three percent of hand measures. Cloud volume tracked grain count and grain weight closely in both major rice types. The authors pitch the phone-based method as cheap, fast phenotyping for breeding programs.
