Python algorithm package for automated Estimation of major legume root traits using two dimensional images by Amit Ghimire, Yong Suk Chung, Sungmoon Jeong, Yoonha Kim

“…Abstract A simple Python algorithm was used to estimate the four major root traits: total root length (TRL), surface area (SA), average diameter (AD), and root volume (RV) of legumes (adzuki bean, mung bean, cowpea, and soybean) based on two-dimensional images. Four different thresholding methods; Otsu, Gaussian adaptive, mean adaptive and triangle threshold were used to know the effect of thresholding in root trait estimation and to optimize the accuracy of root trait estimation. …”
