IMAP: Image Mapping & Analytics for Phenotyping

    A set of PYTHON programs to implement image processing of ground and aerial images by offering via graphical user interface (GUI) 1) plot-level metrics extraction through a series of algorithms for image conversion, band math, radiometric/geometric calibrations, segmentation, masking, adaptive region of interest (ROI), gridding, heatmap, and batch process, 2) GIS interface for GeoTIFF pixels to Lat/Lon, UTM conversion, read/write shapefile, Lat/Lon to ROI, grid to polygon, and 3) utility GUI functions for zooming, panning, rotation, images to video, file I/O, and histogram.

    Global Land Analysis & Discovery (GLAD) Global Cropland Extent

      This study utilized 250m MODIS (MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data to map global production cropland extent. A set of multi-year MODIS metrics incorporating four MODIS land bands, NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and thermal data was employed to depict cropland phenology over the period 2000-2008. The probability and discrete cropland/non-cropland data are available for download by MODIS tile at the full ~250m resolution or as global mosaics at ~1km resolution.

      Breedbase

        The Breedbase system has evolved from the Sol Genomics Network (SGN) and Cassavabase and related sites (see RTBbase.org).Breedbase is striving to be a complete breeding management system, including field management, data collection, crossing utilities, and advanced trial analysis.

        GOSSYM

          GOSSYM is a dynamic, process-level simulation model of cotton growth and yield. GOSSYM essentially is a materials balance model which keeps track of carbon and nitrogen in the plant and water and nitrogen in the soil root zone. GOSSYM predicts the response of the field crop to variations in the environment and to cultural inputs. Specifically, the model responds to weather inputs of daily total solar radiation, maximum and minimum air temperatures, daily total wind run, and rainfall and/or irrigation amount. The model also responds to cultural inputs such as preplant and withinseason applications of nitrogen fertilizer, row spacing and within row plant density as they affect total plant population, and cultivation practices.
