Calibrate

Calibrate a raw hyperspectral image using white and dark reference images.

plantcv.hyperspectral.calibrate(raw_data, white_reference, dark_reference)

returns calibrated Spectral_data class instance

  • Parameters:

    • raw_data - Raw hyperspectral data instance of the Spectral_data class (read in with pcv.readimage with mode='envi')
    • white_reference - White reference data (read in with pcv.readimage with mode='envi')
    • dark_reference - Dark reference data (read in with pcv.readimage with mode='envi')
  • Context:

    • Used to calibrate raw hyperspectral image data into reflectance values. Calibrate using reflectance = (raw data - dark reference) / (white reference - dark reference) based on calibration protocol posted by The TERRA-REF team. This process of calibration might look different depending on the hyperspectral camera used so we highly encourage PlantCV users to reach out to the PlantCV developers/maintainers at the PlantCV GitHub issues page to request to extend the functionality of this function to handle data from different cameras.
  • Example use:

    • Below

from plantcv import plantcv as pcv

raw = pcv.readimage(filename=raw_spectral_filename)
white_reference = pcv.readimage(filename=white_reference_filename)
dark_reference = pcv.readimage(filename=dark_reference_filename)

calibrated_data = pcv.hyperspectral.calibrate(raw_data=raw, white_reference=white_reference, dark_reference=dark_reference)
