Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a plant state automation analysis apparatus,

More particularly, the present invention relates to a plant state automation analyzer capable of automatically and non-destructively analyzing plants and a plant analysis method using the same

In analyzing plant expressions, human beings directly measured the height, number of leaves, color and shape of plants, or chemically analyzed some parts of plants.

However, in the case of the analysis that depends on the human eye, there is a problem that reliability and repeatability are inferior because it requires labor and time and can be analyzed differently from person to person. In addition, there is a problem in that when a part of the plant is taken, the plant must be moved and damaged so that the plant is affected.

In order to solve these problems, there have been various attempts to automate plant analysis.

In the case of Patent Document 1, the image module is installed on the ceiling of the plant production site and the images of the plants fixed on the floor are measured to analyze the two-dimensional image. In Patent Document 2, a three-dimensional image was acquired and analyzed by rotating the plant pollen. In the case of Patent Document 3, the plant pollen was transferred to a conveying apparatus by moving the plant in the photographing stage. In Patent Document 4, Spectroscopic equipment and a camera were used for the analysis.

In the case of Patent Document 1, the two-dimensional image of the plant is analyzed, so that it can not actively cope with the height or height of the plant. In the case of Patent Documents 2 to 3, the plant is moved to a place where the sensor is located, And this affects the analysis result. In addition, in Patent Documents 2 to 4, since plants must be cultivated in pollen so that plants can be easily transferred to analyze plants, there is a problem that it is difficult to individually plant plants and it is difficult to analyze plants not planted in pollen.
