Abstract
Provided herein are methods, apparatuses, computer program products, and systems for seed quality analysis using computed tomography. One method can include obtaining computed tomography data representing a germination towel including seedlings; detecting likely seeds and candidate shoots and roots in the computed tomography data representing the germination towel; forming segments from the candidate shoots and roots; grouping the segments across a total volume of the computed tomography data into likely shoots and roots in accordance with relative proximity and alignment of the segments; assembling the likely seeds and the likely shoots and roots into likely seedlings; classifying the germination towel using a classifier trained to use at least the likely seedlings, as input; and providing a classification result from the classifying for the germination towel.
