High throughput analysis of leaf chlorophyll content in sorghum using RGB, hyperspectral, and fluorescence imaging and sensor fusion.

All three imaging modules (RGB, hyperspectral, and fluorescence) tested in our study alone could estimate chlorophyll content of sorghum plants reasonably well. Fusing image features from different imaging modules with PLSR modeling significantly improved the predictive performance. Image-based phenotyping could provide a rapid and non-destructive approach for estimating chlorophyll content in sorghum.
