High throughput phenotyping using remote sensing. The production of sufficient food to meet increasing population demands while maintaining environmental sustainability is one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century. High throughput phenotyping (HTP) allows for precise monitoring of plant organs, individual plants, field plots, and full fields as required. These platforms include spectroradiometers, thermal sensors, Red–Green–Blue (RGB) imaging, etc. Due to the enormous volume and variety of imaging and remote sensing data generated, one of the main limiting factors is the management and interpretation of all this information. Further, connecting the different scales and platforms will be an important goal, and the key to creating useful phenotyping tools for the selection of genotypes with enhanced resource use efficiency under future stressful environments.
