Processes related to the pipeline of experiments. Credit: Plant Phenomics (2023). DOI: 10.34133/plantphenomics.0066 Roots are essential for plant growth, but traditional methods of studying roots are resource-intensive and damaging. With advancements in image processing techniques, innovative methods for in situ root studies have emerged, providing non-destructive root imaging. However, soil shading in images is the current challenge, which leads to fragmented root systems and a loss of structural integrity. And this fragmentation hampers the accurate assessment of root phenotypes. Although deep learning approaches such as SegRoot and ChronoRoot have enhanced root image recognition, issues like root breakage and soil coverage…
