The increasing demand for food production due to the growing population is raising the need for more productive plant environments. The genetic behavior of plant traits remains different in different growing environments. However, it is tedious and impossible to manually look after the individual plant component traits. Plant breeders need computer vision-based plant monitoring systems to analyze a more productive, suitable environment, quantitative analysis, geometric analysis, and yield rate analysis. Many of the data collection methods according to the needs have been used by plant breeders. In the presented review, most of them are discussed with their corresponding challenges and limitations.
Furthermore, the traditional approaches of segmentation and classifications of plant phenotyping are also discussed. The data limitation problems and their currently adapted solutions in the computer vision aspect are highlighted that somehow solve the problem but are not genuine. The available data sets and current issues are enlightened. The presented study covers the data collection to classification tasks.
