Measurement
We measure fields, harvested material, and plant architecture using drones, imaging systems, LiDAR, and other methods.
Services
Drone growth monitoring, genomic selection, and equipment sales for data-driven breeding and agriculture.
From measurement to the next trial
We start with the breeding objective and design the required measurement and analysis. Phenotypic data from fields and harvested material can be combined with genomic, environmental, pedigree, and existing trial data, then returned in a form that supports comparison, selection, and the design of the next trial.
Phenotypic data
Measurements are organized into comparable data at the individual, line, plot, and time-series levels.
Genomic analysis and prediction
We apply GWAS, genomic prediction, and statistical analysis according to the objective and available data.
Decision support and next-trial design
We organize candidate groups and the evidence for comparison, supporting follow-up measurements and the design of the next trial.
Measurement and phenotyping
We design the measurement method and unit of analysis according to the target, trait, and trial conditions.
Field variation as time-series traits
Using orthomosaics, DSMs, vegetation indices, and related data, we compare cover, growth, plant height, flowering and maturity timing, and rates of change across individuals, plots, and lines.
Harvest variation as individual-level traits
We detect individual harvested objects and measure or estimate size, outline shape, 3D shape, volume, weight, and related traits.
Plant architecture as measurable 3D traits
From drone surveys and mobile LiDAR point clouds, we analyze tree and canopy structure, including tree height and crown area.
Remote, high-frequency field measurement
Quantomics has experience conducting Level 3.5 flights in Japan with the required MLIT permissions and approvals. DJI Dock 3 enables scheduled remote field surveys. We design operations around site conditions, including communications and power availability.
Drone growth monitoring
Using drones allows large-scale and time-series acquisition of growth data. However, obtaining high-quality data requires careful pre-setup and extensive, complex image processing. We offer various support services to help your company perform drone-based measurements.
For those who are about to start or are considering drone measurement
- One-time trial package covering everything from flight to report creation
- Consulting for system introduction and flight setup, including field surveying
For those who already use drones but wish to improve accuracy or efficiency
- Tuning of flight and shooting conditions
- Regular data processing outsourcing service
For those unsure how to use their measurement data
- Provision of advanced data analysis
- Development of sophisticated custom analysis modules
Genomic selection
We support the acceleration of breeding through the use of genomic data. By processing large volumes of DNA marker information covering the crop genome with advanced statistical methods, it is possible to predict how each line will express traits under different environmental conditions. We provide comprehensive breeding support tailored to the crop species and breeding plan.
Efficient selection of superior lines
In crossbreeding, we offer analytical results covering the calculation of required population size, selection of parent lines, and evaluation of F1 cross results. Upon request, we can also perform genome sequencing to support the implementation of genomic selection. This enables efficient breeding for quantitative traits in fewer years and can be combined with generation-acceleration technologies.
By combining phenotypic data from a small number of cultivated lines with existing genomic data, we can predict the phenotypes of remaining lines. This supports efficient selection within a smaller test field and a shorter testing period.
Equipment sales
We handle dealer sales of phenotyping tools developed by Quantomics, as well as drones and other equipment. Based on your data analysis needs, we can recommend suitable equipment. Please contact us for details.
