A Data Driven Approach to Assess Complex Colour Profiles in Plant Tissues.

ABSTRACT: The ability to quantify the colour of fruit is extremely important for a number of applied fields including plant breeding, postharvest assessment, and consumer quality assessment. Fruit and other plant organs display highly complex colour patterning. This complexity makes it challenging to compare and contrast colours in an accurate and time efficient manner. Multiple methodologies exist that attempt to digitally quantify colour in complex images but these either require a priori knowledge to assign colours to a particular bin, or fit the colours present within segment of the colour space into a single colour value using a thresholding approach. A major drawback of these methodologies is that, through the process of averaging, they tend to synthetically generate values that may not
