computer-vision
Computer vision is the computational technology that automatically extracts meaningful information from digital images through analysis and interpretation. In plant science, it enables researchers to rapidly monitor and measure plant characteristics—including growth, disease symptoms, and morphological traits—at scales impractical with manual observation. This capability accelerates breeding programs, improves crop management, and facilitates large-scale phenotyping and ecological research.

Researchers developed a computer vision system using stereo cameras to automatically measure farm workers' body dimensions for ergonomic assessment, offering a faster alternative to manual measurements.
System used Intel RealSense D435i stereo camera with OpenCV and MediaPipe to capture measurements from three angles
Tested on 32 participants (16 male, 16 female) with manual anthropometry as reference standard
Measured four key dimensions: stature, vertical reach, trochanteric height, and chest circumference
