Diffusion-Based Synthetic Pretraining for Root Segmentation in Rhizotron Images

Fengjiao Lu, Gert Kootstra, Zane K.J. Hartley…·Viola Willemsen

This paper generates synthetic rhizotron images using diffusion models and shows that pretraining on these images improves root segmentation performance, especially when real annotations are limited.
