On the evaluation of methods for the recovery of plant root systems from X-ray computed tomography images.X-ray microcomputed tomography (μCT) allows nondestructive visualisation of plant root systems within their soil environment and thus offers an alternative to the commonly used destructive methodologies for the examination of plant roots and their interaction with the surrounding soil. 
X-ray microcomputed tomography
Various methods for the recovery of root system information from X-ray computed tomography (CT) image data have been presented in the literature. 
X-ray computed tomography (CT)
Three-dimensional ground truth data are expensive to produce and the complexity of X-ray CT data means that manually generated ground truth may not be definitive.
