Root Orientation

The growth of coarse roots is complex, leading to intricate patterns of root systems in three dimensions. To detect and recognize coarse roots, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) was used. According to the GPR theory, a clear profile hyperbola is formed on the GPR radargrams when electromagnetic waves travel across two surfaces with different dielectric constants. First, the forward models (different root orientations) were built with simulation software (GprMax3.0) based on the finite-different time-domain method (FDTD). As the radar moved forward, the signal reflection curve was generated in different root orientations. An algorithm was proposed to obtain the coordinates of a single coarse root and analyze the influence of root direction on the hyperbola of coarse root through a symmetry curve and relative error (RE). Based on GPR datasets from the simulation experiment, the controlled experiment evaluated feasibility and effectiveness of the simulation experiment. To demonstrate the effect of the root orientation, the algorithm was applied to in situ recognition of the Summer Palace. The results showed that the localization of root orientation was relatively accurate. However, the proposed algorithm was unable to implement automatic detection, and the results still required human intervention. This research provides a solid basis for the biomass measurement, diameter estimation, and especially the three-dimensional reconstruction of ancient and famous trees.

Ground Penetrating

Cassava as a world food security crop still suffers from an inadequate means to measure early storage root bulking (ESRB), a trait that describes early maturity and a key characteristic of improved cassava varieties. The objective of this study is to evaluate the capability of ground penetrating radar (GPR) for non-destructive assessment of cassava root biomass. GPR was evaluated for this purpose in a field trial conducted in Ibadan, Nigeria. Different methods of processing the GPR radargram were tested, which included time slicing the radargram below the antenna surface in order to reduce ground clutter; to remove coherent sub-horizontal reflected energy; and having the diffracted energy tail collapsed into representative point of origin. GPR features were then extracted using Discrete Fourier Transformation (DFT), and Bayesian Ridge Regression (BRR) models were developed considering one, two and three-way interactions. Prediction accuracies based on Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and coefficient of determination (R2) were estimated by the linear regression of the predicted and observed root biomass. A simple model without interaction produced the best prediction accuracy of r = 0.64 and R2 = 0.41. Our results demonstrate that root biomass can be predicted using GPR and it is expected that the technology will be adopted by cassava breeding programs for selecting early stage root bulking during the crop growth season as a novel method to dramatically increase crop yield.
