Report Size Marker

Get and record the size of a size marker or set an area as a size marker.

plantcv.report_size_marker_area(img, roi_contour, roi_hierarchy, marker='define', objcolor='dark', thresh_channel=None, thresh=None)

returns analysis_image

  • Parameters:
    • img = An RGB or grayscale image to plot the marker object on
    • roi_contour = A region of interest contour (e.g. output from pcv.roi.rectangle or other methods)
    • roi_hierarchy = A region of interest contour hierarchy (e.g. output from pcv.roi.rectangle or other methods)
    • marker = 'define' (default) or 'detect'. If 'define' it means you set an area, if 'detect' it means you want to detect within an area
    • objcolor = Object color is 'dark' (default) or 'light' (is the marker darker or lighter than the background)
    • thresh_channel = 'h', 's', or 'v' for hue, saturation or value, default set to None
    • thresh = Binary threshold value (integer), default set to None.
  • Context:
    • Allows user to add size marker data, so that shape data can be normalized between images/cameras
  • Output data stored: Data ('marker_area', 'marker_ellipse_major_axis', 'marker_ellipse_minor_axis', 'marker_ellipse_eccentricity') automatically gets stored to the Outputs class when this function is ran. These data can always get accessed during a workflow (example below). Summary of Output Observations

Object (green) that is identified as partially inside ROI

# Define an ROI for the marker
roi_contour, roi_hierarchy = pcv.roi.rectangle(img1, 3550, 850, 500, 500)

# Detect and Measure Size Marker
image = pcv.report_size_marker_area(img1, roi_contour, roi_hierarchy, marker='detect', objcolor='light', thresh_channel='s', thresh=120)

# Access data stored out from report_size_marker_area
