Abstract

Quantitative flowering phenotypes are needed to support breeding and harvest management in Hypericum perforatum L. (St. John’s wort), but manual flower assessment is slow and difficult to standardize under field conditions. UAV-Hyp is a multi-temporal UAV RGB dataset containing 12,653 high-resolution images acquired at 26 measurement dates across the complete flowering period of 15 H. perforatum accessions. The images represent variable illumination, soil moisture, weed pressure, and developmental stages. The dataset provides 59,163 plant bounding boxes and 107,054 flower bounding boxes. As an application example, cascaded YOLOv8 plant and flower detectors achieved mAP@0.50:0.95 values of 0.977 and 0.950, respectively. UAV-Hyp supports scalable flower quantification and the development of time-series phenotyping methods for genotype comparison and quality-oriented medicinal-plant breeding.
