Multi-scale 3D plant phenotyping

I’m a PhD student in Biosystems Engineering (Global Smart Farm integrated major) at Seoul National University, graduating in August 2027.

My research is multi-scale 3D plant phenotyping: getting reliable organ-level measurements of leaves, stems and fruit from 3D reconstructions instead of manual rulers. That covers the whole chain, from multi-camera, RGB-D and LiDAR capture rigs in the greenhouse and field, through reconstruction with 3D Gaussian Splatting, surfels and SfM/MVS, to segmentation and the validation that turns a model into a trait.

Before that, my master’s at Chonnam National University put deep-learning object detection into an apple sorting machine, so I’ve cared about vision that runs on real hardware from the start. I also help run my lab’s self-hosted research infrastructure, because tools only matter if other people can use them.
