Leaf Vein Network CNN Images

This download site contains the CNN vein network predictions and set of Matlab programs that were used for the analyses in Xu <em>et al.</em>, (2020) and Blonder <em>et al.,</em> (2020). These require Matlab 2020a or later. They may work on earlier versions of MatLab, but this has not been tested and cannot be guaranteed. The files are as follows: Zip files (e.g. BEL_downsampled_images.zip) containing a complete set of images of leaf vein predictions from a fully trained convolutional neural network (CNN), along with the ground truth data. Each folder in the unzipped file contains a sample represented by a CODE with format X-TY-BZ. X represents the name of a plot in the Global Ecosystems Monitoring network database (e.g. 'BEL'). Tree (T) Y indicates the number of a tree within a plot (e.g. '101') and Z represents the light stratum of the canopy where the leaf was collected (either 'S' for 'sunlit' or 'SH' for 'shaded'). A set of Matlab programs (Matlab files.zip) to compare the CNN predictions against other vein extraction approaches. A Matlab Readme file with instructions on how to run the analyses. <strong>References</strong> <strong>Software GUI:</strong> Xu, H., Blonder, B., Jodra, M., Malhi, Y. and Fricker, M.D. (2020) Automated and accurate segmentation of leaf venation networks via deep learning. <strong>New Phytol</strong>.
