We are embarking on an exciting project to build a system for high-throughput plant root phenotyping and 3D visualization.
This work describes an end-to-end system for hyperbolic acoustic localization and its use in estimating the density of northern bobwhite quails.
CottonSense is an advanced phenotyping system that can perform real-time segmentation and enumeration of cotton fruits at four stages of development: square, flower, closed boll, and open boll.
Cotton Contaminants from X-ray Images
This work uses x-ray transmission images to rapidly detect various trash types such as bark, leaf, shell, grass, seedcoat fragments, and plastics as small as a few hundred microns.
We are developing a phenotyping system that can perform real-time enumeration of soybean fruits at three stages of development: new flower, old flower, and new pod. This data will be used to estimate the plants' rate of flower abortion.
Ultrasonic Phased Array for Plastic Detection
This is an ultrasonic phased-array imaging system under FPGA control. Transmitter elements emit electronically steered pulsed ultrasound along radial paths. Separate reflection and transmission receivers are used to reveal visually obscured plastics.
C. elegans Activity and Strength Quantification
We have developed several fundamental techniques to quantify the strength and activity levels of individual and populations of the nematode for drug discovery and anti-aging studies.
