Our research project link plant biology and anatomy to image analysis and pattern recognition to leverage time-resolved 3D images of plant leaves responding to dynamic environmental changes. Here is a list of some of our ongoing and completed projects.
Plant structure and function
Dynamic response of stomata in relation to leaf anatomy
In this part of the project, we investiguate the anatomical dynamics of the stomata in 2D, 3D, and 4D under fluctuating water supply. Student involved: Maryam Zekri
Pattern recognition and image analysis
Automated segmentation of sparsely annotated plant leaf microCT scans
To leverage the high amount of 3D imaging data, we are building tools for their automated segmentation and for more simplified 3D and 4D representations. Students involved: Florian Bogner, Alex Palmrich, Rachel Grexova, Oliver Troger, Janika Tulacs.
