X-axis Pseudolandmarks

Divide plant object into twenty equidistant bins 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.x_axis_pseudolandmarks(img, obj, mask)

returns landmarks_on_top (top), landmarks_on_bottom (bottom), landmarks_at_center_along_the_vertical_axis (center_V)

  • 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 horizontal axis. Once scaled these can be used for shape analysis.
  • Output data stored: Data ('top_lmk', 'bottom_lmk', 'center_v_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 Input object contour and image
