Measurement Techniques in Floral Studies

Measurement Techniques in Floral Studies provides an in-depth exploration of the intricate relationship between color science and floral studies. This comprehensive guide bridges the gap between fundamental color theories, advanced measurement techniques, and their applications in understanding floral hues and patterns.

Starting with foundational concepts like the electromagnetic spectrum, light wave properties, and human color vision theories (trichromatic and opponent-color), the book delves into color schemes, spaces, and order systems such as RGB, CMYK, and CIE models. Special emphasis is placed on practical methods for calculating color metrics using Matlab and R code, along with techniques for assessing and tolerancing color differences like Delta E.

Additionally, the book examines insect and bird color vision, chromatic adaptation, and floral color changes over time. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals, this book is an essential resource for anyone studying floral coloration and its ecological significance.
