Date: 17/10/2020

A pre-recorded presentation introducing the use of Topological Data Analysis (TDA) to quantify plant morphology made during the 2020 pandemic. TDA is introduced using the quantification of barley seed shape as an example. Topological signatures such as persistent barcodes and diagrams, the Euler Characteristic Transform, and Mapper graphs are discussed as applied to 3D volumetric X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) images.
