# GroMo25: Multiview Time-Series Plant Image Dataset for Age Estimation and Leaf Counting

## Dataset Summary

**GroMo25** is a multiview, time-series plant image dataset designed for plant age estimation (in days) and leaf counting tasks in precision agriculture. It contains high-quality images of four crop species — **Wheat, Okra, Radish, and Mustard** — captured over multiple days under controlled conditions. Each plant is photographed from 24 angles across 5 vertical levels per day, providing rich spatial and temporal information for plant growth modeling.

This dataset is intended for researchers and practitioners in **academic research, plant phenotyping, and agriculture**, and serves as the official dataset for the **GroMo Challenge**.

## Dataset Structure

### Crops Included

| Crop    | Description                             |
|---------|-----------------------------------------|
| Wheat   | Cereal crop,    multiple growth stages  |
| Okra    | Vegetable crop, leaf-heavy growth       |
| Radish  | Root vegetable, rapid growth cycle      |
| Mustard | Oilseed crop,   distinct leaf pattern   |

### Image Capture Setup

All images were captured in a **controlled indoor environment**:
- Each plant is grown in a **pot** placed on a **rotating disk**
- The background is covered with a **white cloth** to ensure clean segmentation and consistent background
- Images are taken at **24 angles** per level (0° to 345°, 15° increment between consecutive angles)
- Each plant is photographed across **5 vertical levels** (L1 to L5) per day

### Images Per Day (Per Plant)

```
5 levels × 24 angles = 120 images per plant per day
```

```

### File Naming Convention

Each image follows the format:

```
{crop}_p{X}_d{Y}_L{Z}_{A}.png
```

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `crop` | Crop name (e.g., `radish`, `wheat`) |
| `X` | Plant ID (e.g., `p1`, `p2`) |
| `Y` | Day number (e.g., `d1`, `d2`) |
| `Z` | Level (L1 to L5) |
| `A` | Angle in degrees (0 to 345, step 15) |

**Example:** `radish_p1_d3_L2_90.png` → Radish, Plant 1, Day 3, Level 2, angle 90°

---

## Ground Truth / Annotations

Each crop has a corresponding `{crop}_train.csv` file containing per-image labels.

### Format

| Column | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `filename` | Relative path to the image |
| `leaf_count` | Number of leaves on the plant |
| `Age` | Age of the plant in days |

### Example
```csv
filename,leaf_count,Age
mustard/p1/d1/L1/mustard_p1_d1_L1_0.png,2,1
```

A separate CSV is provided for each crop covering all plants, days, levels, and angles.

## Tasks

This dataset supports the following tasks:

- **Plant Age Estimation** — Predict the number of days since planting (regression)
- **Leaf Counting** — Predict the number of leaves visible on the plant (regression)

### Evaluation Metrics

| Metric | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| RMSE | Root Mean Squared Error |
| MAE  | Mean Absolute Error |

abstract = {Understanding plant growth dynamics is a critical component of modern agricultural research, with applications in yield prediction, phenotyping, and sustainable crop management. Despite recent advances in computer vision and deep learning, progress in plant growth modeling has been constrained by the lack of publicly available, high-resolution, multiview, and temporally rich datasets. To address this gap, we introduce Growth Modelling GroMo25, the first international challenge on plant growth modeling using multiview imagery. In this challenge, we propose a dataset that comprises high-resolution images of four crops: wheat, mustard, radish, and okra, captured at consistent time intervals from multiple camera viewpoints under controlled environmental conditions. The challenge focuses on two key tasks: (1) plant age prediction and (2) leaf count estimation, both requiring models to use spatial and temporal plant features. GroMo25 attracted participation from multiple teams worldwide, encouraging benchmarking and innovation in vision-based plant phenotyping. The GitHub repository is publicly available at https://github.com/mriglab/GroMo-Plant-Growth-Modeling-with-Multiview-Images.},
