Introduction to PlantCV

PlantCV [1] is an imaging processing and trait extraction package designed for plant biology research that is built upon open-source software platforms OpenCV [2], NumPy [3], and MatPlotLib [4].

If you use PlantCV please cite us [1].

• The project website can be found at plantcv.danforthcenter.org

• Installation instructions can be found here

• Further documentation for PlantCV functions and use can be found at the PlantCV Read the Docs site and we have added interactive documentation.
