Root anatomy based on root cross-section image analysis with deep learning

Abstract: Aboveground plant efficiency has improved significantly in recent years, and the improvement has led to a steady increase in global food production. The improvement of belowground plant efficiency has potential to further increase food production. However, belowground plant roots are harder to study, due to inherent challenges presented by root phenotyping. Several tools for identifying root anatomical features in root cross-section images have been proposed. However, the existing tools are not fully automated… Show more

“…In addition, roots often grow along the path of least resistance, so it has been suggested that roots grow along windows, possibly skewing aberrance and distribution data. Because of the difficulties with nondestructive techniques, a combined approach that involves both the removal of plants from their growing substrate and AI techniques that analyze root system images is growing in use, where images of root systems acquired by shovelomics are analyzed with the aid of computers using machine learning (ML) technologies These techniques have been applied to several major agricultural crops and plant types in studies concerning roots and RSA, such as alfalfa [ 14 , 17 , 33 ], apple ( Malus domestica ) [ 34 ], cotton ( Gossypium herbaceum L.) [ 35 ], maize [ 36 , 37 ], millet ( Setaria italica ) [ 38 ], rice ( Oryza sativa L.) [ 39 , 40 ], and soybean [ 16 ].…”

“…Automated approaches to identifying anatomical traits in microscopy root cross-sections by investigating rice roots were also focused on by Wang et al. [ 40 ]. They used and compared the Faster R-CNN and Mask R-CNN ML models producing an IoU of 0.95 for both root and stele objects, showing that the Faster R-CNN models can accurately detect and predict anatomical objects in images while concurrently producing more accurate results with smaller amounts training data than the competing model.…”

“…There are an equal number of output neurons in the last fully connected layer compared to the targeted classes. This layer uses a function called “softmax.” Several pretrained CNN architectures are currently available, including the VGG-16 [ 46 ]. The VGG-16 network provides outstanding efficiency regarding the ImageNet competition, in which the network is trained with countless images in one thousand categories.…”

“…Moreover, the VGG-16 was utilized with proper results in our previous work, that is, the Faster R-CNN paper, giving us the impetus to reuse it in the current study. This VGG-16 has thirteen layers of convolutions + reLU, five layers of pooling, and three layers of fully connected layers [ 46 ] (see Figure 8 ).…”

“…ResNet is the first classification network that surpasses human accuracy in classification tasks ( Russakovsky et al, 2015 ). At present, the ResNet-based classification model has been widely used in plant image research, such as plant age judgment ( Yue et al, 2021 ), flowering pattern analysis ( Jiang et al, 2020 ), and root image analysis ( Wang et al, 2020 ).…”
