摘要：The measurement of a plant growth without interrupting its natural growth is essential since its diameter and height are related to the developmen t of a tree as well as the water contents. Therefore main objective of this project is to find the d iameter and height of a plant. Hence in this proposed work, an interface between a C3008 smart camera and a computer has been developed. Main advantage of this camera module is that it has digital output and digital video port that supplies a continuous 8 -16 bit range of data stream. It is used to capture the image of a plant at different intervals of time. A MATLAB GUI has been developed for performing Sobel Edge Detection on a plant image to determine its hei ght, maximum and minimum width. Such programs enable us to automatically measure and record the various parameters of a plant. The results attained prove that the system is capable of measuring the changes (diameter and height changes) of plant's growth accurately
