4. Use SFM/MVS related software to generate Point Cloud, Orthomosaic, DSM, Reflectance map and so on.

popular SFM/MVS related software:

• OpenSFM
• Pix4d
  • getting start
  • Tips
• Agisoft (name Changed to "Metashape" 2019)
  • Process RedEdge data in Agisoft Photoscan

5. Use GIS related software to generate shape file for plot segmentation:

• gen_shape_plot_ArcGIS
• gen_shape_plot_QGIS
• gen_shape_whole_map_QGIS
• [Use image analysis to automatically segment plots]: Easy micro-plot extraction: a pre-processing tool to extract quality micro-plot images for UAV-based high-throughput field phenotyping
• EasyIDP (Easy Intermediate Data Processor)

6. Phenotyping !
