y_axis_pseudolandmarks

Divide plant object into twenty equidistant bins along the y-axis and assign pseudolandmark points based upon their actual (not scaled) position. Once this data is scaled this approach may provide some information regarding shape independent of size.

plantcv.y_axis_pseudolandmarks(img, obj, mask)

returns landmarks_on_leftside (left), landmarks_on_right (right), landmarks_at_center_along_the_horizontal_axis (center_h)

  • Parameters:
    • img - A copy of the original image (RGB or grayscale) generated using np.copy
    • obj - A contour of the plant object (this should be output from the object_composition.py fxn)
    • mask - This is a binary image. The object should be white and the background should be black.
  • Context:
    • Used to identify a set of sixty equidistant landmarks on the vertical axis. Once scaled these can be used for shape analysis.
  • Output data stored: Data ('left_lmk', 'right_lmk', 'center_h_lmk') 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
