The LK-1550 RootEye Fully Automated Root Growth Continuous Monitoring System is an advanced measurement system designed for long-term tracking and monitoring of plant root growth dynamics. It enables in-situobservation at fixed positions, capturing the growth, mortality, and distribution patterns (i.e., root architecture) of both coarse and fine roots. Additionally, the system records detailed developmental stages and phenological characteristics of fine roots. Integrated with professional root analysis software, it quantifies root-related parameters and automatically tracks growth changes over time.

1. AI-Powered Root Recognition: Based on machine learning and neural network modeling, it supports batch and automatic recognition of root images from micro-root tubes or complex backgrounds. |
|
2. Customizable Metrics: Allows defining diameter classifications to automatically measure root length, root tip count, projected area, surface area, volume, and their distribution parameters per diameter segment. |
|
|
3. High-Throughput Analysis: Performs large-scale fully automatic root analysis; analysis results (diagrams) are editable and correctable. Automatically estimates root biomass distribution in bulk. |
|
|
4. Visualization Outputs: Generates multiple visual results, including probability maps, binary images, skeleton images, diameter overlay maps, color binary overlay maps, and root tip distribution maps. |
|
|
5. Automated Segmentation: Imports root images, trains models using U-net convolutional neural network via image semantic segmentation, automatically identifies root contours, and distinguishes roots from background. |
Programmable Automation – Execute pre-set schedules for fully automatic, continuous root monitoring and dynamic tracking
Automated Root Image Analysis – Automatically analyze batches of images and generate multiple analytical metrics (e.g., root length, diameter, surface area, and turnover).
Wireless Transmission & Cloud Integration – Images are automatically transmitted via FTP to a secure cloud platform, facilitating remote data download and management.
