Example of MASS Image Processing

Caption

Typical landmark processing and analysis stages utilized by MASS for Acer saccharum leaves. (A) Stages of image processing for maple tree leaf, displayed from the raw image of a leaf (left) to a normalized contour characterized by elliptical Fourier descriptors (EFD) to landmark representation (right). Two EFD outlines are provided in the middle panel, displaying results using N = 15 and N = 25 harmonics. (B) Stages of comparative analysis of leaf shape showing sample multiple leaf outlines generated using EFD (left), the generation of a mean leaf outline (center), and a representative average landmark set generated by Procrustes analysis of the population landmarks over 171 leaves (right).
