  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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).

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    A safe, modern introduction to repositories, commits, branches, remotes, pull requests, authentication, and undoing mistakes.

  2. macOS Keyboard Shortcuts — A Practical Reference

    A compact, safety-aware reference for everyday macOS, Finder, text-editing, browser, screenshot, and recovery shortcuts.

  3. 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.
