Using Vision Language Foundation Models to Generate Plant Simulation Configurations via In-Context Learning

The paper presents a benchmark to test whether vision‑language models can produce plant simulation configurations from images using in‑context learning. It focuses on cowpea plot reconstruction, requiring the models to output structured JSON that includes field and plant details. Open‑source multimodal models from the Gemma 4 and Qwen3.5 families are evaluated on synthetic and real drone datasets, using five in‑context methods, and the results show that while VLMs can generate valid JSON and estimate key agronomic metrics, their performance varies and often lags behind dataset baselines.

AgriScope: Pixel-Grounded Multimodal Understanding for Agricultural Images

AgriScope is a unified pixel‑grounded multimodal framework designed for agricultural image understanding, supporting image‑level, region‑level, and pixel‑level tasks such as grounded caption generation, referring expression segmentation, and multi‑turn multimodal interaction. It incorporates biologically specialized semantic representations with dense spatial grounding through biological‑semantic encoding, dense spatial representations, and pixel decoding. The authors also introduce AgriGround, a large‑scale dataset of over 500K images and 11M instruction‑following samples, created via an automatic annotation pipeline that combines caption generation, phrase‑level grounding, segmentation mask generation, and task‑oriented instruction synthesis to provide densely grounded supervision for agricultural vision‑language learning.

LeafTrackNet: A Deep Learning Framework for Robust Leaf Tracking in Top-Down Plant Phenotyping

LeafTrackNet is a deep learning framework that combines a YOLOv10-based leaf detector with a MobileNetV3-based embedding network to track individual leaves over time. The authors introduce CanolaTrack, a large benchmark dataset of 5,704 RGB images with 31,840 annotated leaf instances from 184 canola plants. When evaluated without prior fine‑tuning, LeafTrackNet outperforms existing methods on CanolaTrack, KOMATSUNA, and MSU‑PID datasets, achieving HOTA scores of 88.03, 87.33, and 74.20 respectively.
