Analysis scripts for the evaluation of a low-cost high-throughput plant phenotyping system

Data analyses to complement "Image dataset for the evaluation of a low-cost high-throughput plant phenotyping system" (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5725224). "README_SetupAndAnalyses.pdf" contains instructions for setting up the high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) system and analyzing the resulting image datasets. The analyses are split into two parts. First, the automatically acquired HTP and manually acquired (DSLR) images are processed using the Python script labeled "finalGreennessAnalyses.py". The csv file labeled "labelTable.csv" is used to rename the DSLR images in terms of the date acquired and experimental conditions and must be included for the Python script to process the DSLR images. The output of the Python script includes "greennessGoProTable.txt" containing tab-delimited data regarding foliar size and greenness for each HTP image and "greennessDSLRTable.txt" containing tab-delimited data regarding foliar size and greenness for each DSLR image. The second step of the analyses includes inferential statistics (e.g., correlations and linear mixed effects modeling) and is based on the R script labeled "ghGoProAndDSLR_toPublish2.R". The csv file labeled "parAllBenches.csv" includes average solar daily light integral (solar DLI) data that were used as part of the linear mixed effects models in R.
