![]() ![]() There is therefore a need for an automated system for plumage color extraction and quantification. Such manual scoring approaches are extremely time consuming and prone to problems like low repeatability and inter observer errors. Current color quantification approaches require the user to manually draw a closed contour that encloses the plumage color patch to be analyzed, using an image editing software. Bird plumage color quantification refers to the approach of characterizing the plumage coloration observed in individual birds using colorimetric values such as the hue, saturation, brightness,patch size and is an important trait for ecologists. Avian plumage coloration is known to be responsible for many important functions like species identification, camouflage, understanding evolutionary relationships and impact of environmental conditions on habitat and breeding.
