Tomatoes in 3D: Breakthrough in Plant Monitoring

Tomatoes in 3D: Breakthrough in Plant Monitoring

A team from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has developed an affordable, non-invasive way to estimate total leaf area in dwarf tomato plants using 3D reconstruction from standard video footage. By combining structure-from-motion techniques with machine learning, the study accurately predicts plant growth without the need for costly sensors or destructive sampling. This breakthrough offers a scalable solution for crop monitoring in both greenh…
