Analyze a Hyperspectral Index¶

This function calculates the hyperspectral index statistics and writes the values as observations out to the Outputs class.

plantcv.hyperspectral.analyze_index(index_array, mask)

returns None

• Parameters:
  • index_array - instance of the Spectral_data class (created by running pcv.hyperspectral.extract_index)
  • mask - Binary mask made from selected contours
• Context:
  • Calculates data about mean, median, and standard deviation of an input index within a masked region.
• Example use:
  • Below
• Output data stored: Mean, median, and standard deviation of the index automatically gets stored to the Outputs class when this function is ran. These data can always get accessed during a workflow (example below). For more detail about data output see Summary of Output Observations
