2026
1 notes- PhenoHUB: A Mobile Toolkit for Digital Plant Phenotyping
A WeChat Mini Program for plant phenotyping fieldwork: leaf-angle and land-area measurement, site weather, image analysis, AI-assisted charting and data management in one mobile toolkit.
2025
7 notes- Botanical Extract AI Pro: Zero-Shot Plant Background Removal with Multimodal Models
A web application and batch pipeline that removes plant-image backgrounds without task-specific training, using a multimodal image model with a structured prompt, aspect-ratio matching and file-signature format detection.
- MCTP: A Multi-Modal Crop Phenotyping Data Processing Platform
A desktop platform that processes hyperspectral, LiDAR, RGB and thermal phenotyping data with one interface, interactive parameter tuning, batch processing and structured exports.
- Predicting Leaf BRDF from Phenotypic Traits
A measuring and analysis framework that predicts leaf BRDF parameters from phenotypic traits in four species, combining directional spectroscopy, Cook–Torrance fitting, ensemble learning and canopy ray tracing (Plant Phenomics, 2025).
- Local AI Assistants and Agents: A Secure, Reproducible Deployment Guide
A practical path from a local Ollama assistant to retrieval and controlled tool use, with explicit privacy, security, versioning, and deployment boundaries.
- Quantifying Seeds, Leaves and Other Plant Samples from Images with Python
A local OpenCV method that segments separated plant samples on a uniform background and measures size, shape and colour in calibrated units, with an overlay for every image.
- From Manuscript to Publication: A Practical Guide for Researchers
A concise, publisher-neutral guide to journal selection, manuscript preparation, submission, peer review, publication status, research integrity, and post-publication maintenance.
- Single-Image 3D Plant Reconstruction with 3D Generative AI, Evaluated against SfM
Generating 3D cotton plants from single photographs with 3D generative AI and evaluating them organ by organ against multi-view SfM reconstructions of the same plants.
2024
3 notes- UAV 3D Crop Phenotyping: Cross-Circular Oblique Acquisition, SfM and CanopyPC
A UAV workflow for plot-level 3D crop phenotyping: Cross-Circular Oblique flight design, SfM reconstruction, canopy point-cloud processing with CanopyPC, and machine-learning models of crop traits.
- Root Quantify: Interactive Root Image Preprocessing in Python
An interactive OpenCV tool that turns raw root scans and photographs into clean binary images through polygon ROI selection, illumination correction, thresholding and brush-based correction, ready for root-trait software.
- Local LLMs: A Reproducible Guide to Running, Fine-Tuning, and Serving Models
A maintainable workflow for choosing a local model, testing it with Ollama, planning parameter-efficient fine-tuning, evaluating results, and exposing a service safely.
2023
2 notes- Canopy Photosynthesis Modeling from 3D Plant Reconstruction
A modular model that reconstructs crop plants from multi-view images, assembles a triangle-facet canopy, simulates its light distribution by ray tracing, and integrates leaf photosynthesis to canopy carbon gain.
- DJI P4 Multispectral to Plot-Level Traits with WebODM and QGIS
Processing DJI P4 Multispectral imagery into radiometrically documented orthomosaics in WebODM, checking bands in QGIS, and extracting plot-level vegetation indices and texture features.
2022
3 notes- PyTorch for Research — A Version-Aware Learning Roadmap
A concise, reproducibility-focused route from tensors and training loops to transfer learning, evaluation, safe checkpoints, and deployment boundaries.
- 3D Reconstruction of Potted Cotton by Turntable Photogrammetry
A growth-chamber protocol that reconstructs potted cotton plants from two-elevation turntable video with structure from motion, with scale control, colour correction and accuracy assessment.
- A Reproducible Research Workflow with VS Code, Miniconda, and Git
A practical workflow for structuring Python research projects, recording environments, collaborating through Git, and preserving data provenance.
2021
3 notes- Git and GitHub Beginner Guide
A safe, modern introduction to repositories, commits, branches, remotes, pull requests, authentication, and undoing mistakes.
- macOS Keyboard Shortcuts — A Practical Reference
A compact, safety-aware reference for everyday macOS, Finder, text-editing, browser, screenshot, and recovery shortcuts.
- Build and Publish a Personal Website with Docusaurus and GitHub Pages
A version-aware workflow for creating a Docusaurus portfolio, configuring GitHub Pages correctly, and maintaining a reliable deployment.
