Multimodal Plant Image Registration - mPIR v.0.1

Introduction

mPIR is developed within the scope of a research study [1] aiming to investigate the parameter-dependent performance of three different methods for automated alignment of multimodal plant images including feature point matching (FP), phase correlation (PC), and intensity information (INT) based registration techniques.

Key Features

The tool performs affine registration of a pair of selected images (for example, FLU and VIS or FLU and NIR or VIS and NIR images of the same plant shoot) using three registration techniques (i.e. FP, PC, INT) and shows the result as a blended overlay. The user can adjust diverse algorithmic parameters and study their effects on the result of image registration.
