4th APPN MEETING
From Cell to Field
– Pattern Recognition, Machine Learning and Modelling in the context of Plant Phenotyping –
jointly organised by
Data availability on different scales – from plant molecular to ecosystems level – is rapidly increasing. New algorithms, modelling strategies and sensors are increasing the possibilities of plant traits and data accessibility as well as data integration towards comprehensive phenotyping. Expectations are thus high that phenotyping will open new ways for basic plant research, plant breeding, agricultural management and environmental protection. A key for advance is the interaction between plant, technical and mathematical sciences. This meeting will bring together plant researchers and pattern recognition experts in order to discuss state-of-the-art methods of modelling and machine learning and their applications for plant research and pave the way for future scientific collaborations.
Keywords: Machine learning, deep learning, CNNs, high-throughput plant phenotyping, image analysis, pattern recognition, root phenotyping, plant sensors, hyperspectral imaging, data analysis, modelling
About APPN:
The APPN initiative aims to unite the Austrian plant phenotyping community in order to facilitate research collaborations, development of plant phenotyping infrastructure and methodologies, staff training, staff exchange and networking activities. APPN actively supports the ESFRI-EMPHASIS project.
About OAGM:
The purpose of the Austrian Association for Pattern Recognition (OAGM) is the ongoing exchange of information and experience, regarding the state and technology of pattern recognition and its applications between the members of the association and the international community. Since 1981, the Austrian Association for Pattern Recognition has been a society of its own and operates also as a working group within the Austrian Computer Society (OCG).
