TRAS software automates tree ring analysis with deep learning

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

IMPACT Automates a manual scientific process, potentially accelerating research in dendrochronology and related fields.

    TRAS: An Interactive Software for Tracing Tree Ring Cross Sections

    Tree ring marking remains a key step in dendrometry and dendrochronology, but it is often performed manually, making the process time-consuming, subjective, and difficult to scale to large image datasets. We present the Tree Ring Analyzer Suite (TRAS), an open-source graphical so…
