• Abstract summary: Multi-modality dataset for crop biomass estimation (MMCBE) This dataset comprises 216 sets of multi-view drone images, coupled with LiDAR point clouds, and hand-labelled ground truth. We have rigorously evaluated state-of-the-art crop biomass estimation methods using MMCBE and ventured into additional potential applications, such as 3D crop reconstruction from drone imagery and novel-view rendering.

• Abstract: Crop biomass, a critical indicator of plant growth, health, and productivity, is invaluable for crop breeding programs and agronomic research. However, the accurate and scalable quantification of crop biomass remains inaccessible due to limitations in existing measurement methods. One of the obstacles impeding the advancement of current crop biomass prediction methodologies is the scarcity of publicly available datasets. Addressing this gap, we introduce a new dataset in this domain, i.e. Multi-modality dataset for crop biomass estimation (MMCBE). Comprising 216 sets of multi-view drone images, coupled with LiDAR point clouds, and hand-labelled ground truth, MMCBE represents the first multi-modality one in the field. This dataset aims to establish benchmark methods for crop biomass quantification and foster the development of vision-based approaches. We have rigorously evaluated state-of-the-art crop biomass estimation methods using MMCBE and ventured into additional potential applications, such as 3D crop reconstruction from drone imagery and novel-view rendering. With this publication, we are making our comprehensive dataset available to the broader community.

  We present a biomass prediction network (BioNet) for adaptation across different data modalities, including point clouds and drone imagery. Our BioNet, utilizing a sparse 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) and a transformer-based prediction module, processes point clouds and other 3D data representations to predict biomass. To further extend BioNet for drone imagery, we integrate a neural feature field (NeFF) module, enabling 3D structure reconstruction and the transformation of 2D semantic features into the corresponding 3D surfaces.

  Growth rates and biomass yields are key descriptors used in microbiology studies to understand how microbial species respond to changes in the environment. estimating biomass from cell counts, as needed to assess yields, relies on an assumed cell weight. Noise and discrepancies on these assumptions can lead to significant changes in conclusions regarding the microbes' response. This article proposes a methodology to address these challenges using probabilistic macrochemical models of microbial growth.
