👉 Growing #plants in vertical #farming conditions offers the possibility to reduce the time needed to grow plants and thus to multiply the number of production cycles of agricultural products per year. However you still need to find the best variety to grow! Thus one of the main traits of interest for vertical farm breeding is plant biovolume.

🌱 For #salads for instance it is possible to assess the volume of each plant using #3D #sensing equipement. A 3D point cloud allows to reconstruct accuratly the surface of each leaves and estimate the global #biomass volume of each plant.
