The main function of the LK-1600 RhizoPot in situ root culture and analysis system is the dynamic observation and analysis of the phenotype of the micro-root system (fine roots and root hairs). The LK-1600 can acquire images of root systems at 1200 dpi and 4800 dpi, and can be used to analyze root system length, diameter, area, and other root system indicators and their dynamics, as well as to analyze the longevity of fine roots and root hairs.
To improve efficiency and accuracy, the LK-1600 integrates automatic root image acquisition software, which allows presetting of image acquisition resolution, time, image saving and naming.
For efficient and accurate background segmentation of root images, LK-1600 also integrates DeepLabv3+, a root image segmentation software. The software achieves fast root background segmentation through deep learning algorithm. It takes about 20 min to segment the background of a 1200 dpi root image, but the segmentation efficiency is at least 20 times higher than that of the conventional manual tracing method.
