| Description | This grant funded an international workshop on image analysis methods for plant science, so was a networking, rather than a research award. We did, though, discover that several existing plant root measurement systems were complimentary, and as a result designed a common formal (Root System Markup Language) for passing information between them. |
| Exploitation Route | Other developers of image-based plant root measurement systems could adopt the RSML format and associated software tools, integrating methods across the community. |
| Sectors | Agriculture, Food and Drink |

| Description | Since the journal paper on RSML appeared in 2015 the work has been publicised at various conferences and workshops and the standard is being adopted by other (international) groups. This is having an impact on the culture in our area: researchers are now beginning to look at how their methods mesh with others, rather than assuming they should compete. A growing number of software tools are available at http://rootsystemml.github.io |
| First Year Of Impact | 2014 |
| Sector | Agriculture, Food and Drink |
| Impact Types | Cultural |
| Description | Collaboration with Sotos Tsaftaris (Edinburgh) and Hanno Scharr (Julich) |
| Organisation | Julich Research Centre |
| Country | Germany |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | Following on from the workshop funded by the BBSRC Grant, I was invited to work with the above on a more focussed workshop, on Computer Vision Problems in Plant Phenotyping, to be run alongside a major Computer Vision Conference. We organised a ran a workshop at the 2015 British Machine Vision Conference in Swansea. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The three of us jointly ran a half-day Workshop, inviting and reviewing papers, chairing sessions, etc. |
| Impact | The CVPPP Workshop series is raising the profile of plant phenotyping in the mainstream Computer Vision community. |
| Start Year | 2014 |
