Twelve Years of Collaborative Research
Hiphen was born from academic research, and science has remained at the heart of what we do ever since. Since 2014, we have built long-standing collaborations with leading research organizations such as legacy partners INRAE and ARVALIS in France, alongside universities and research centers around the world. From the whole CGIAR ecosystem to individual institutions across Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia and Australia, these collaborations have allowed us to develop, challenge and validate our methods under real research conditions, across different crops, environments and scientific questions.
And these roots continue to grow. Today, Hiphen is actively involved in collaborative research projects with many supported by European research and innovation programs, spanning a wide range of agricultural and plant science applications. By bringing digital phenotyping expertise, technologies and data into these projects, we aim not only to improve our own solutions, but also to help researchers explore new questions, generate better evidence and accelerate scientific innovation. For us, advancing digital phenotyping and supporting scientific research are part of the same mission: giving plant science better ways to observe, measure and understand crops.
INRAE
Hiphen was born from academic research at INRAE. The collaboration covers image-based plant trait extraction and the scientific validation of our phenotyping pipelines.
ARVALIS
Applied agronomic research partner since Hiphen's founding, from aerial imaging of field trials to large-scale varietal evaluation protocols and lately the development of the Literal phenotyping system.
IRD
Together with IRD, Hiphen has supported the deployment of drone-based phenotyping in Senegal, sharing imaging expertise and acquisition protocols to advance crop research under West African growing conditions.
The University of Queensland
From international wheat phenotyping initiatives to the deployment of a PhenoMobile® at the Australian Plant Phenomics Network’s UQ node, our collaboration supports the development and application of advanced field phenotyping methods.
Mohammed VI Polytecnic University
Together with UM6P in Morocco, Hiphen has deployed advanced PhenoMobile® capabilities to help researchers investigate crop performance, drought tolerance and disease resilience under challenging arid conditions.
A wide range of ecological, agricultural, hydrological and meteorological applications at local to regional scales requires decametric biophysical data. However, before the launch of SENTINEL-2A, only few decametric products are…
Total above-ground biomass at harvest and ear density are two important traits that characterize wheat genotypes. Two experiments were carried out in two different sites where several genotypes were grown…
The Global Wheat Head Detection (GWHD) dataset was created in 2020 and has assembled 193,634 labelled wheat heads from 4,700 RGB images acquired from various acquisition platforms and 7 countries/institutions…
Plants density is a key information on crop growth. Usually done manually, this task can beneficiate from advances in image analysis technics. Automated detection of individual plants in images is…
Leaf biochemical composition corresponds to traits related to the plant state and its functioning. This study puts the emphasis on the main leaf absorbers: chlorophyll a and b (C-ab), carotenoids…
Temperature and precipitation are the most important factors responsible for agricultural productivity variations. In 2018 spring/summer growing season, Europe experienced concurrent anomalies of both. Drought conditions in central and northern…
