Multispectral Analysis for Roots
The compact VideometerMR minirhizotron spectral imaging system allows for automated detection and quantification of living roots in the field/semi-field. It can detect roots in all soil types and differentiate living roots from dead roots from last season.
This technology is proved and documented in the scientific paper
“A multispectral camera system for automated minirhizotron image analysis”, published in the August 2019 issue of the journal Plant and Soil.

Four spectral imaging robots have been installed for rhizosphere imaging at the RadiMax facility at University of Copenhagen. Roots at different depth can be counted and quantified automatically. The Radimax facility was installed in 2016. See a Radimax announcement and a DLF video on how the Radimax partner studies deep rooting.
