RootQuantV2: Adapting a Vision Foundation Model for Root-Trait Regression from Minirhizotron Imagery
A lack of high-throughput phenotyping solutions for root traits in field-grown crops has severely constrained understanding and improvement of below-ground traits and processes. Minirhizotrons are the standard non-destructive root-phenotyping method in field environments. Computer vision solutions are needed to allow a …
