A Portfolio of 70+ Agronomic Indicators (Traits)

The Hiphen Traits Glossary emphasizes five distinct trait categories:

1. Biomass Proxy: Traits that help to accurately select or eliminate plots based on their productivity like plant height and biovolume.
2. Phenological Development: Stage developments like flower timing, days to maturity, and senescence.
3. Trial Quality: Assessing the quality and performance of crop trials with traits like plot quality, plant count and gaps, and lodging.
4. Plant Stress: Analyzing crop's photosynthetic activity and its resilience to biotic or abiotic stress from vegetative indices like NDRE, MCARI, canopy chlorophyll content and many others.
5. Harvest Index & Quality: Evaluating yield potential and harvest quality with traits like organ counts (wheat heads, sorghum heads, sunflowers, vegetables), flowering intensity, and harvestable plot area.

These categories have been carefully curated to cater to the unique needs of agronomic researchers, providing you with a more precise and comprehensive understanding of phenotypic measures available off-the-shelf for your crops.

Intuitive Data Uploader Tool

You upload images directly from the drone SD card and within 2 weeks you view the data in Cloverfield.

Advanced analytics at your fingertips

Plot View:

Browse your traits' value for each plot. Also query images to not just see the numbers, but also see the plots themselves in a way that you can never do with ground collected assessments.

Dashboard View: Let the data speak!

Genotype analyzer.

1. Identify top and bottom performers.
2. View data distribution for trait prevalence and normality
3. Create and view time series data to identify transition points (early vigor, flowering, senescence) and speed to and through transitions.

All your traits come to life in the analytics tab. Access charts that rank your genotype performance at each date and for each trait. Apply filters to select your population of interest, depending on your breeding values, and investigate the data further by looking at your actual plot clips for the corresponding date. You can even visually score your plots using your own criteria within the plot rating tool.
You can also compute integrative traits to measure the Area Under the Curve (AUC).

Comparative scatter plot

Use the comparative scatter to analyze correlation between two calculated traits. you can display linear regression and get Spearman; Pearson and/or R2 correlation values. If you share ground assessments and yield, they can be viewed and used to regress against the digital assessments and look for correlations.

Dynamic filtering:

Optimize your breeding scheme by effortlessly filtering your genetic material in a few clicks within Cloverfield™. Interactively combine traits and set thresholds to filter out under-performing genotypes or pinpoint the top-performing material you want to advance to the next stage.
Apply multiple criteria filtering on your genetic material and dynamically eliminate under-performing genotypes based on your ideotype recipe.

Real-Time Monitoring of Your Campaign

With the campaign monitoring tool, you can manage your program in real time. See if your pilots around the country or around the world have uploaded image sets and where each image set is in the process. Hiphen will also flag image sets that have problems quickly and send reports within 24 hours of the upload.

Click on the In the Box tab for a full list of what's included.

Does the M3M require multispectral calibration before flying?
Yes, multispectral calibration using the provided panel is mandatory at the beginning and at the end of each flight. It allows to adjust the multispectral sensor to the exact lighting conditions and reflectance parameters of your crop, ensuring that you capture precise multispectral data that translates the reality of your field. Using the multispectral calibration panel ensures accurate and consistent measurements of plant traits across different time points, for a consistent and repeatable analysis through the season.

1. Standardization of Measurements: Multispectral calibration panels provide a set of known reference values for spectral reflectance or radiance. By imaging these panels alongside plants, researchers can calibrate their imaging systems to ensure consistent measurements across different devices and experiments. This standardization is crucial for comparing data collected from various sources or over time.
2. Quality Control: By including multispectral calibration panels in imaging setups, researchers can monitor the performance and stability of their imaging equipment. Any deviation in measurements from the known reference values of the calibration panel may indicate issues with the imaging system that need to be addressed, such as sensor drift or lighting inconsistencies.
3. Normalization of Data: Phenotyping often involves comparing spectral or radiometric measurements between different samples or experiments. Multispectral calibration panels provide a baseline against which these measurements can be normalized, allowing for more accurate comparisons of plant traits across different conditions or genotypes.
4. Correction of Atmospheric Effects: Multispectral calibration panels can also be used to correct for atmospheric effects, such as changes in ambient lighting or scattering, which may affect the accuracy of spectral measurements. By calibrating imaging systems using known reference values, researchers can account for these effects and obtain more reliable data.

Overall, multispectral calibration panels play a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and comparability of phenotypic data obtained from imaging systems, thereby facilitating more robust analysis and interpretation of plant traits for various research purposes.

In addition, at Hiphen we define a trait as "A measurable characteristic of the plant or canopy. It is the result of combining raw data obtained from sensors such as cameras, lidar, spectrometers, etc., with an analytical method for interpretation. This process serves as the means to transform raw sensor data into meaningful metrics for agronomists." Alexis Comar, PhD – CEO & Founder of Hiphen.

How long does it take to get results in Cloverfield®?
It usually depends on the traits that you are interested in and on your crop. However, under request Hiphen can process data and deliver results through Cloverfield within 5 days.
