How sorting by plant color works

Written by Xenia Klop | 19 June 2020

Plant color is an important parameter to see breeding results in detail and enabling you to classify plants automatically.

Plant color identification

Identification of plant and flower color is done by digitally isolating the flowers from the plant and indexing the color values in RGB and HSV. Colors are 3D plotted into a chart to visualise the results. The WPS software enables you to classify the plants based on the requested color values. This gives the breeder a detailed report containing valuable input for your breeding tactics or separation of plans for distribution and pricing.


Easy data export

Results are displayed in your dashboard and can be easily exported in a CSV or Excel file. The classification can be altered by the user based on the required color indexes.
