TY - DATA T1 - Dataset of X-ray Computed Tomography Reconstructions of Partially Saturated Vegetated Sand PY - 2023/06/26 AU - Floriana Anselmucci UR - DO - 10.4121/21294510.v2 KW - X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) KW - Partially saturated soil KW - Root system architecture KW - image processing protocols KW - Image Segmentation N2 - <p> </p><p>The dataset contains the raw data of 4 reconstructed images from x-ray computed tomography. The content of the images represents the 4D <em>in-vivo</em> evolution of a vegetated sand microstructure. The pixel size is 60 microns and equal for all the 3D images. The samples are partially saturated, with a relative density of 30%, and Maize root system growing in it (Day 2 and Day 6 post germination). The sand used are two different granulometry of Hostun sand. One set of data refers to Hostun_1.5-2, with D50=1.9mm, the other refers to Hostun_31, with D50=0.33mm.</p><p>The dataset can be used to recreate the image processing protocol to segment the root system and the soil matrix, as presented in Anselmucci at al, 2021a,b.</p><p>The data is intended to be used with the purpose to develop an automated root-segmentation tool.</p> ER -
