Certificate of Achievement

Samuel Yeboah

has completed the following course:

Introduction to Image Analysis for Plant Phenotyping

The University of Nottingham and University of Lincoln

On this course, we looked at some ways to approach plant phenotyping from images, and how to think about automating some of these approaches. This included starting to write code to collect data from images. In addition, we looked at image capture itself, and the data that we often work with in image analysis. Some basic principles of image processing and analysis were introduced. We also looked at some more advanced scenarios, such as 3D and hyperspectral imaging.
