With the development of remote sensing, robotics, computer vision and artificial intelligence, plant phenomics research has been developing rapidly in recent years. Here, we first introduced a concise history of this research domain, including the theoretical foundation, research methods, biological applications, and the latest progress. Then, we introduced some important indoor and outdoor phenotyping approaches such as handheld devices, ground-based manual and automated vehicles, robotic systems, Internet of Things(IoT)based distributed platforms, automatic deep phenotyping systems, and large-scale aerial phenotyping, together with their advantages and disadvantages during the applications. In order to extract meaningful information from big image-and sensor-based datasets generated by the phenotyping process, we also specified key phenotypic analysis methods and related development procedures. Finally, we discussed the future perspective of plant phenomics, with recommendations of how to apply this research field to breeding, cultivation and agricultural practices in China.

[Objectives]How the fractal theory as an efficient tool to describe rough and irregular geometrical feature in nonlinear system and nature is applied into agricultural soil research is hot issue at present. [Methods]The roughness data of agricultural soil surface after sowed(perpendicular to the sowed direction), sowed surface(along with the sowed direction), ploughed surface(perpendicular to the ploughed direction), and rolled surface(along with the rolled direction)were obtained by laser roughness measuring instrument. The fractal dimensions, non-scale space and correlation coefficient were computed respectively by three methods, i.e.variate-difference method, the structure function method, and the mean square root method. [Results]The undulation of surface after ploughed was large, but with small fractal dimension and less fine structure, and low complex degree as a consequence;the undulation of surface in perpendicular direction after sowed was also large, but with low complicated degree, while the undulation in parallel direction was conversely small with high complicated degree;the undulation of surface in rolled direction after rolled was larger than that was sowed, but with low complicated degree. [Conclusions]The fractal dimension calculated by using the mean square root method was the most accurate, which had good correlation of linear regression and small variation of non-scale range.
