TRAS software automates tree ring analysis with AI

Researchers have developed TRAS, an open-source software designed to automate and assist in the analysis of tree ring cross-sections. The software integrates image processing and deep learning algorithms to delineate, correct, and measure tree rings, significantly reducing manual effort. TRAS offers features for calculating dendrochronological metrics and has demonstrated high accuracy, showing excellent agreement with existing tools for ring-width measurements. AI

IMPACT Automates a manual scientific process, potentially accelerating dendrochronology research.

    TRAS: An Interactive Software for Tracing Tree Ring Cross Sections

    arXiv:2605.08025v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: 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 Rin…
