Colourgrams GUI: A graphical user-friendly interface for the analysis of large datasets of RGB images

摘要

Colourgrams GUI is a graphical user-friendly interface developed in order to facilitate the analysis of large datasets of RGB images through the colourgrams approach. Briefly, the colourgrams approach consists in converting a dataset of RGB images into a matrix of one-dimensional signals, the colourgrams, each one codifying the colour content of the corresponding original image. This matrix of signals can be in turn analysed by means of common multivariate statistical methods, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for exploratory analysis of the image dataset, or Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression for the quantification of colour-related properties of interest.
