Chirag Vijay Patil
Chirag Vijay Patil was a master's degree student in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He was advised by Song Li.
Patil's research focuses on fine-tuning Grounded DINO (GDINO) for object detection in confocal root images, enabling precise identification of plant root cells. By integrating segmentation models like SAM (Segment Anything Model), he aims to enhance the detection pipeline for more accurate localization and analysis. This work contributes to improving automated plant phenotyping, aiding studies related to root structure and development.
