Latest Patents
Faruk Yildiz holds a patent for a "Nondestructive real-time test and detection of gall-forming plant-parasitic nematodes." This invention presents a non-destructive plant root imaging and analysis system designed to detect these harmful nematodes. The system utilizes a root imaging device based on a minirhizotron concept, which has been customized to allow insertion into the soil near plant roots. It captures images of the root system from various positions and angles. The device features a movable base equipped with a high-resolution digital camera module integrated into a transparent tube, enabling the collection of images at different depths. Additionally, a set of image processing algorithms has been developed and integrated into a custom-designed graphic user interface (GUI) to automatically analyze and detect the presence of nematodes. These algorithms can stitch images together to create a panoramic view of the entire plant root system.
