Plate 12.2. LiDAR data of crops acquired with the Phenolite buggy (Jimenez-Berni et al. 2018) using a discrete LiDAR mounted at the nadir angle above the canopy. Panel A shows a 2D projection of a LiDAR point cloud generated from a mixed canopy of maize and brassica where the grey scale of the image indicates distance from the sensor (black distal, white proximal). The height profile for the transect of the crop marked a to b is shown in panel B while the leaf angle of the maize leaf marked c to d is shown in panel C (Jimenez-Berni, Deery, Sirault and Furbank, unpublished). Panel D; left panels show a rendering of point clouds of two wheat varieties (erect and prostrate) acquired using the same system and on the right, colour images of the corresponding canopies are shown.
