Rootfly

Rootfly is a free, open-source software application to aid researchers in minirhizotron image analysis.

Users can use the software to measure the length, diameter, and color of roots, as well as the birth and death rates. The software is designed to be easy to use, with a minimal number of mouse clicks needed to perform each operation, and with all the data for an experiment stored in a single RFY file. Automated image processing algorithms are also included to further reduce the manual intervention required.
