• Abstract summary: A plant growth simulation can be characterized as a reconstructed visual representation of a plant or plant system. We introduce a sequence-informed plant growth simulation framework (SI-PGS) that employs a conditional generative model to implicitly learn a distribution of possible plant representations. We demonstrate that SI-PGS is able to capture temporal dependencies and continuously generate realistic frames of plant growth.

• Abstract: A plant growth simulation can be characterized as a reconstructed visual representation of a plant or plant system. The phenotypic characteristics and plant structures are controlled by the scene environment and other contextual attributes. Considering the temporal dependencies and compounding effects of various factors on growth trajectories, we formulate a probabilistic approach to the simulation task by solving a frame synthesis and pattern recognition problem. We introduce a sequence-informed plant growth simulation framework (SI-PGS) that employs a conditional generative model to implicitly learn a distribution of possible plant representations within a dynamic scene from a fusion of low-dimensional temporal sensor and context data. Methods such as controlled latent sampling and recurrent output connections are used to improve coherence in the plant structures between frames of prediction. In this work, we demonstrate that SI-PGS is able to capture temporal dependencies and continuously generate realistic frames of plant growth.

  Diffusion models (DPMs) have rapidly evolved to be one of the predominant generative models for the simulation of synthetic data. We propose using DPMs for the generation of synthetic individual location trajectories (ILTs) which are sequences of variables representing physical locations visited by individuals.

  We present a two-stage framework consisting first of an image prediction model and second of a growth estimation model. The image prediction model is a conditional Wasserstein generative adversarial network (CWGAN) In the generator of this model, conditional batch normalization (CBN) is used to integrate different conditions along with the input image. These images are used by the second part of the framework for plant phenotyping by deriving plant-specific traits.
