Application and Algorithm of Ground-Penetrating Radar for Plant Root Detection: A Review

Sensors (Basel). 2020 May 16;20(10):2836. doi: 10.3390/s20102836.

Abstract

Attention to the natural environment is equivalent to observing the space in which we live. Plant roots, which are important organs of plants, require our close attention. The method of detecting root system without damaging plants has gradually become mainstream. At the same time, machine learning has been achieving good results in recent years; it has helped develop many tools to help us detect the underground environment of plants. Therefore, this article will introduce some existing content related to root detection technology and machine detection algorithms for root detection, proving that machine learning root detection technology has good recognition capabilities.

Keywords: ground-penetrating radar; machine learning; root detection.
