Color Matrix

Computes the average R, G, B values for each region in the RGB image denoted by the gray-scale mask and saves them in a matrix of n x 4, where n = the number of color chips represented in the mask.

plantcv.transform.get_color_matrix(rgb_img, mask)

returns headers, color_matrix

  • Parameters

    • rgb_img = RGB image with color chips visualized
    • mask = a gray-scale img with unique values for each segmented space, representing unique, discrete color chips.
  • Returns

    • color_matrix = a n x 4 matrix containing the average red value, average green value, and average blue value for each color chip.
    • headers = a list of 4 headers corresponding to the 4 columns of color_matrix respectively
  • Example use:


from plantcv import plantcv as pcv

rgb_img, imgpath, imgname = pcv.readimage(filename="target_img.png")
mask, maskpath, maskname = pcv.readimage(filename="mask_img.png")

headers, color_matrix = pcv.transform.get_color_matrix(rgb_img, mask)

print(headers)
print(color_matrix)
