BAT ( Berry Analysis Tool ) : A high - throughput image interpretation tool to acquire the number , diameter , and volume of grapevine berries

چکیده
QTL-analysis (quantitative trait loci) and marker development rely on efficient phenotyping techniques. Objectivity and precision of a phenotypic data evaluation is crucial but time consuming. In the present study a high-throughput image interpretation tool was developed to acquire automatically number, size, and volume of grape berries from RGB (red-green-blue) images. Individual berries of one cluster were placed on a black construction (300 x 300 mm) to take a RGB image from the top. The image interpretation of one dataset with an arbitrary number of images runs automatically using the BAT (Berry-Analysis-Tool) developed in MATLAB. For validation of results, the number of berries was counted and their size was measured using a digital calliper. A measuring cylinder was used to determine reliably the berry volume by displacement of water. All placed berries could be counted by BAT 100 % correctly. Manual ratings compared with BAT ratings showed strong correlation of r = 0.96 for mean berry diameter/ image and r = 0.98 for cluster volume.

Automated Image Analysis Framework for the High-Throughput Determination of Grapevine Berry Sizes Using Conditional Random Fields
The berry size is one of the most important fruit traits in grapevine breeding. Non-invasive, image-based phenotyping promises a fast and precise method for the monitoring of the grapevine berry size. In the present study an automated image analyzing framework was developed in order to estimate the size of grapevine berries from images in a high-throughput manner. The framework includes (i) the...
متن کاملAn Automated Field Phenotyping Pipeline for Application in Grapevine Research
Due to its perennial nature and size, the acquisition of phenotypic data in grapevine research is almost exclusively restricted to the field and done by visual estimation. This kind of evaluation procedure is limited by time, cost and the subjectivity of records. As a consequence, objectivity, automation and more precision of phenotypic data evaluation are needed to increase the number of sampl...
متن کاملAutomatic estimation of the size and weight of grapevine berries by image analysis
Berry size of winegrapes has often been considered to influence wine composition and quality. The measurement of the size and weight of grapevine berries may provide important information to assess differences in ripening stage, pulp/skin ratio and phenolic content. This task is usually done by hand, so that it becomes slow, tedious and inaccurate. This paper focuses on three main objectives ai...
متن کاملCluster and Berry Characteristics of Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) as Influenced by Thinning Agents and Gibberrelic Acid Applications
Some cultivars of grapevine have very compact cluster which adversely affect its quality and marketability. ‘Yaghouti’ is a commercial early table grape cultivar that has very compact clusters. The present study was conducted to assess the effects of mechanical and chemical thinning as well as GA3 application on cluster morphology and berry size of grapevine cv. ‘Yaghouti’. Treatments were chem...
متن کاملEffects of Exogenous Gibberellic Acid on Yield Components of ‘Askari’ Grape
Abstract The most important commercial use of gibberellin in horticulture is to improve the yield and marketability of table grapes. This experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of gibberellic acid on yield components of five-year-old ʻAskariʼ seedless grapevines, based on a randomized complete block design. Gibberellic acid was sprayed on the folia...
