A Rochester Institute of Technology faculty member is creating new artificial intelligence systems that could empower agricultural researchers, breeders, nurseries, and other users to analyze the roots of their crops with the power of their smartphones. Guoyu Lu, an assistant professor in RIT s Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, is receiving a $450,000 New Investigator grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to conduct the research.
The project s primary goal is to develop a mobile app and platform that can construct 3D models of a crop s root system and extract important traits about the roots using artificial intelligence technologies. Lu is aiming to create an easy-to-use system that does not require sophisticated and expensive equipment.
