Proximal Sensing for Modeling Development Curves and Accelerated Breeding of Climate Resilient Crop Varieties

New proximal sensing technologies such as aerial imaging have provided a source of rich information for evaluating the genetic merit of different crop varieties and breeding lines. This project aims to gather a critical mass of proximal sensing data across several important crop species in contrasting environments to build the methods, models, and software necessary to deploy proximal sensing-informed breeding decision making.
