DeepFlower: a deep learning-based approach to characterize flowering patterns of cotton plants in the field.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Flowering is one of the most important processes for flowering plants such as cotton, reflecting the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth and is of central importance to crop yield and adaptability. Conventionally, categorical scoring systems have been widely used to study flowering patterns, which are laborious and subjective to apply. The goal of this study was to develop a deep learning-based approach to characterize flowering patterns for cotton plants that flower progressively over several weeks, with flowers distributed across much of the plant.

Results

A ground mobile system (GPhenoVision) was modified with a multi-view color imaging module, to acquire images of a plant from four viewing angles at a time. A total of 116 plants from 23 genotypes were imaged during an approximately 2-month period with an average scanning interval of 2-3 days, yielding a dataset containing 8666 images. A subset (475) of the images were randomly selected and manually annotated to form datasets for training and selecting the best object detection model. With the best model, a deep learning-based approach (DeepFlower) was developed to detect and count individual emerging blooms for a plant on a given date. The DeepFlower was used to process all images to obtain bloom counts for individual plants over the flowering period, using the resulting counts to derive flowering curves (and thus flowering characteristics). Regression analyses showed that the DeepFlower method could accurately (R²?=?0.88 and RMSE?=?0.79) detect and count emerging blooms on cotton plants, and statistical analyses showed that imaging-derived flowering characteristics had similar effectiveness as manual assessment for identifying differences among genetic categories or genotypes.

Conclusions

The developed approach could thus be an effective and efficient tool to characterize flowering patterns for flowering plants (such as cotton) with complex canopy architecture.

Project description:ObjectivesTo utilize a deep learning model for automatic detection of abnormalities in chest CT images from COVID-19 patients and compare its quantitative determination performance with radiological residents.MethodsA deep learning algorithm consisted of lesion detection, segmentation, and location was trained and validated in 14,435 participants with chest CT images and definite pathogen diagnosis. The algorithm was tested in a non-overlapping dataset of 96 confirmed COVID-19 patients in three hospitals across China during the outbreak. Quantitative detection performance of the model was compared with three radiological residents with two experienced radiologists' reading reports as reference standard by assessing the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score.ResultsOf 96 patients, 88 had pneumonia lesions on CT images and 8 had no abnormities on CT images. For per-patient basis, the algorithm showed superior sensitivity of 1.00 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.95, 1.00) and F1 score of 0.97 in detecting lesions from CT images of COVID-19 pneumonia patients. While for per-lung lobe basis, the algorithm achieved a sensitivity of 0.96 (95% CI 0.94, 0.98) and a slightly inferior F1 score of 0.86. The median volume of lesions calculated by algorithm was 40.10 cm3. An average running speed of 20.3 s ± 5.8 per case demonstrated the algorithm was much faster than the residents in assessing CT images (all p < 0.017). The deep learning algorithm can also assist radiologists make quicker diagnosis (all p < 0.0001) with superior diagnostic performance.ConclusionsThe algorithm showed excellent performance in detecting COVID-19 pneumonia on chest CT images compared with resident radiologists.Key points• The higher sensitivity of deep learning model in detecting COVID-19 pneumonia were found compared with radiological residents on a per-lobe and per-patient basis. • The deep learning model improves diagnosis efficiency by shortening processing time. • The deep learning model can automatically calculate the volume of the lesions and whole lung.
