There are provided an image acquisition system capable of storing
high-accuracy measurement of changes in the shape of a plant growing
process in image information with high accuracy and an analyzing method
for analyzing an acquired image to analyze plant growing.There is
provided a plant growing analyzing system having operation detection
means of a conveying mechanism of a plant in order that an observed plant
in an image is photographed at a constantly fixed position or angle; a
position detecting mark in the acquired image; a computation part for
evaluating detected data to control a conveying amount; and a conveying
control part, wherein the growing process of many plants is stored in
image information in a long period, and the stored image is used to
realize high-accuracy measurement.
