World population is projected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050, and yields of most staple crops are not increasing at a fast enough rate to meet the corresponding nutritional needs. The overall goal of this research is to create new CPS science and technology for adaptive data acquisition for high throughput plant phenotyping, which will accelerate breeding progress for high yield food crops. Currently, the primary bottleneck in identifying high-yielding crops is the limited number of plants a breeder can evaluate in a growing season.
