Researchers have developed TRAS, an open-source software designed to automate and assist in the analysis of tree ring cross-sections. The tool integrates classical image processing with deep learning methods to delineate tree rings, allowing for manual corrections and the calculation of various dendrochronological metrics. Evaluations showed that the deep learning approach significantly reduced manual correction time, with excellent agreement for ring-width measurements compared to existing tools. AI
