Novel X‐ray imaging and segmentation of root structures

Novel X‐ray imaging and segmentation of root structures Purpose – This paper seeks to present a novel X‐ray system and associated image segmentation algorithm for imaging the below‐ground root structures of plants. Design/methodology/approach – A matched filter design for segmenting the important root structures from the background clutter in the X‐ray images was presented. Findings – The feasibility of root imaging and the applicability of matched filters to this problem domain have been demonstrated. Originality/value – This research offers a novel approach over existing methods for in situ monitoring of root structures through the application of matched filters for image segmentation. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Sensor Review Emerald Publishing
