Advancing hyperspectral imaging techniques for root systems: a new pipeline for macro- and microscale image acquisition and classification.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding the environmental impacts on root growth and root health is essential for effective agricultural and environmental management. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology provides a non-destructive method for detailed analysis and monitoring of plant tissues and organ development, but unfortunately examples for its application to root systems and the root-soil interface are very scarce. There is also a notable lack of standardized guidelines for image acquisition and data analysis pipelines.

Methods

This study investigated HSI techniques for analyzing rhizobox-grown root systems across various imaging configurations, from the macro- to micro-scale, using the imec VNIR SNAPSCAN camera. Focusing on three graminoid species with different root architectures a
