| Capacity | |
| Limitations |
– No hyperspectral or multispectral sensors, the phaenomobil cannot capture detailed spectral information. This limits its ability to accurately identify and analyse subtle differences in plant health, such as nutrient deficiencies, diseases, or stress levels. – Manual driving can lead to inconsistencies in data collection due to human error. Variations in speed, path, and positioning can affect the accuracy and reliability of the collected data. |

Phaenomobil will be used as a solution to automate the measurement and quanitifcation of plant characteristics in field trials. Phaenomobil is equipped with the imaging sensors (RGB, LiDAR, Thermal) on a tractor-based vehicle. It will be able to automatically trigger data collection for all crops in plots (track width 1.5m) when the tractor drives onto the plot and store the data in a specific format with all the metadata for processing. Phaenomobil is designed for high-throughput phenotyping, capable of collecting data from large areas efficiently. It’s equipped with various sensors, such as thermal, RGB cameras, and LiDAR sensors, to collect diverse types of data. It can operate on various terrains, including slopes, rough ground, and different soil conditions. BOKU Phaenomobil has a data storage management unit with a capacity of 16 TB which can automatically download, store the data directly on site, monitor the data quality and export the results in desired formats. It can also access the unit remotely to make instant decisions.
