摘要

Recent technological advancements employ imaging techniques to examine the morphological, physiological, and genetic differences among plant accessions, enhancing precision and productivity. High-throughput phenotyping serves as an essential method for selecting traits and reducing errors tied to manual data collection. However, the effects of camera-to-object distance in imaging acquisition for plant phenomics have received less attention. We analyzed the imaging parameters that define well the morphological characteristics of pepper and the effects of camera-to-object distance on the imaging of plant growth, leaf dimensions, fruit, and seed characteristics. Three camera-to-object distances (0.8, 1.0, and 1.2 m) were studied for the vegetative stage, and six camera-to-object distances (0.35–0.85 m) were used for the reproductive stages. The results demonstrated that imaging parameters such as Major (the longest line that can be drawn within the leaf) and Minor (the shortest line perpendicular to the major axis) are more effective for assessing canopy spread, while imaging Height provides a strong correlation (r = 0.9) for actual plant height measurement. An optimal camera-to-object distance of 0.8 m yielded better correlations for vegetative traits across all pepper genotypes, likely due to resolution factors at different growth stages. For fruit and seed traits, shorter distances of 0.55 m and 0.65 m were suitable. Additionally, the weights of fresh and dry fruit correlated highly with image area (r = 0.94 and 0.89, respectively, at 0.55 m). The studied pepper genotypes exhibited distinct seed characteristics, including variations in Roundness, Solidity, and Circularity. The imaging approach can accurately capture various plant characteristics and has the potential to replace traditional methods for assessing plants.
