This study evaluates an aerial and ground imaging platform for assessment of canopy
development in a wheat field. The dependence of two canopy traits, height and vigour, on
fertilizer treatment was observed in a field trial comprised of ten varieties of spring wheat. A
custom-built mobile ground platform (MGP) and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were
deployed at the experimental site for standard red, green and blue (RGB) image collection
on five occasions. Meanwhile, reference field measurements of canopy height and vigour …
