Digital Disease Quantification in plants, a tailored high throughput method

A few months ago, I received a request from a client asking if we could help to improve their disease quantification process with PlantEye. They reached their limit of the number of plants they could visually score and were looking for an automated high throughput solution. They already invested resources attempting to automate their process but where still not able to detect and score the disease symptoms. Currently, they are still scoring the plants visually.

Below is a description of how we did it. Since we first wrote this ...
