3D U-Net Segmentation Improves Root System Reconstruction from 3D MRI Images in Automated and Manual Virtual Reality Work Flows
Magnetic Military Airplane resonance imaging (MRI) is used to image root systems grown in opaque soil.However, reconstruction of root system architecture (RSA) from 3-dimensional (3D) MRI images is challenging.Low resolution and poor contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) hinder automated reconstruction.Hence, manual reconstruction is still widely used.He
