Visualization results from the X-ray CT and FOS measurement of several rice cultivation pots at different growth stages. (a) (left) Superimpositions of results obtained on day 15 for Pot #2. Spatially encoded strain heatmap is overlayed with reconstructed rice roots; gray lines indicate CT reconstruction, and red lines indicate FOS reconstructions. (top right) Plots of distributed strain measurement from FOS and simulated strains from the computational model. (bottom right) Plots counting the number of roots along depth for CT and FOS. (b) Results for Pot #6 on day 25. (c) Results for Pot #7 on day 28. (d) Results for Pot #4 on day 14. (e) Results for Pot #1 on day 27. (f) Results for Pot #4 on day 25
