Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Crop phenomics, as one of the core key technologies in the development process from traditional agriculture to smart agriculture, has been increasingly emphasized by the majority of agricultural scientists. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology represented by deep learning, the development of crop phenomics technology has been greatly promoted. This Special Issue, titled "Crop Phenotyping Based on Artificial Intelligence Methods", will focus on the solution of new problems in crop phenomics, the proposal of new methods and technologies for phenotyping, and the release of new platforms for phenotyping and analyzing driven by AI technology. This Special Issue will focus on the above topics, but its content is not limited to these topics, as the study of the pattern of change of crop phenotypes, the genetic analysis of phenotypic changes, and the study of functional phenotypes of crops, etc., will also be covered.

Wine grape quality is influenced by the variety and growing environment, and the quality of the grapes has a significant impact on the quality of the wine. Tannins are a crucial indicator of wine grape quality, and, therefore, rapid and non-destructive methods for detecting tannin content are necessary. This study collected spectral data of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay using a geophysical spectrometer, with a focus on the 500–1800 nm spectrum. The spectra were preprocessed using Savitzky–Golay (SG), first-order differential (1D), standard normal transform (SNV), and their respective combinations. Characteristic bands were extracted through correlation analysis (PCC). Models such as partial least squares (PLS), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and one-dimensional neural network (1DCNN) were used to model tannin content. The study found that preprocessing the raw spectra improved the models’ predictive capacity. The SVM–RF model was the most effective in predicting grape tannin content, with a test set R2 of 0.78, an RMSE of 0.31, and an RE of 10.71%. These results provide a theoretical basis for non-destructive testing of wine grape tannin content. Full article
