X-ray CT reveals 4D root system development and lateral root responses to nitrate in soil (2022)
Journal Article
Griffiths, M., Mellor, N., Sturrock, C. J., Atkinson, B. S., Johnson, J., Mairhofer, S., …Wells, D. M. (2022). X-ray CT reveals 4D root system development and lateral root responses to nitrate in soil. Plant Phenome Journal, 5(1), Article e20036. https://doi.org/10.1002/ppj2.20036

The spatial arrangement of the root system, termed root system architecture, is important for resource acquisition as it directly affects the soil zone explored. Methods for phenotyping roots are mostly destructive, which prevents analysis of roots o... Read More about X-ray CT reveals 4D root system development and lateral root responses to nitrate in soil.

Temporal refinement of 3D CNN semantic segmentations on 4D time-series of undersampled tomograms using hidden Markov models (2021)
Journal Article
Bellos, D., Basham, M., Pridmore, T., & French, A. P. (2021). Temporal refinement of 3D CNN semantic segmentations on 4D time-series of undersampled tomograms using hidden Markov models. Scientific Reports, 11(1), Article 23279. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-02466-x

Recently, several convolutional neural networks have been proposed not only for 2D images, but also for 3D and 4D volume segmentation. Nevertheless, due to the large data size of the latter, acquiring a sufficient amount of training annotations is mu...

Low-cost automated vectors and modular environmental sensors for plant phenotyping (2020)
Journal Article
Bagley, S. A., Atkinson, J. A., Hunt, H., Wilson, M. H., Pridmore, T. P., & Wells, D. M. (2020). Low-cost automated vectors and modular environmental sensors for plant phenotyping. Sensors, 20(11), https://doi.org/10.3390/s20113319

© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. High-throughput plant phenotyping in controlled environments (growth chambers and glasshouses) is often delivered via large, expensive installations, leading to limited access and the increase...

Towards infield, live plant phenotyping using a reduced-parameter CNN (2019)
Journal Article
Atanbori, J., French, A. P., & Pridmore, T. P. (2020). Towards infield, live plant phenotyping using a reduced-parameter CNN. Machine Vision and Applications, 31, Article 2. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00138-019-01051-7

There is an increase in consumption of agricultural produce as a result of the rapidly growing human population, particularly in developing nations. This has triggered high-quality plant phenotyping re- search to help with the breeding of high yieldi... Read More about Towards infield, live plant phenotyping using a reduced-parameter CNN.

CNN-Based Cassava Storage Root Counting Using Real and Synthetic Images (2019)
Journal Article
Atanbori, J., Montoya, M., Selvaraj, M., French, A. P., & Pridmore, T. P. (2019). CNN-Based Cassava Storage Root Counting Using Real and Synthetic Images. Frontiers in Plant Science, 10, https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2019.01516

Cassava roots are complex structures comprising several distinct types of root. The number and size of the storage roots are two potential phenotypic traits reflecting crop yield and quality. Counting and measuring the size of cassava storage roots a... Read More about CNN-Based Cassava Storage Root Counting Using Real and Synthetic Images.
