Dependency of the PC registration on plant growth. (A) Median success rates of single-step PC registration of FLU/VIS images for three plant age/growth phases of Arabidopsis (top-view), wheat and maize (side-view) phenotyping experiments including young (1. phase), intermediate stage (2. phase) and adult shoots (3. phase). Reduced success rate of PC registration is caused by a more frequent occurrence of non-specific shape of young wheat and maize shoots in side-view from certain rotation angles. (B) Examples of FLU/VIS images of young and adult maize shoots taken from different rotation angles. The redundant shape (“thin vertical line”) of the young maize shoot in the FLU/VIS image pair taken from the rotation degree 45° does not exhibit unique spectral characteristics causing a failure of the PC registration.
