Vine nutrition

The nutritional health of winegrape vines is usually measured through testing the plant petiole, the stalk that attaches a leaf to the plant stem, but results can take time to generate and may not be highly accurate. This project will develop a smartphone app to capture and analyse images of vine leaves, to rapidly assess nutritional status.
