This article contains information on Harvest Quality Vision’s colour detection system. See the instructions here on how to create Colour Classes.
Croptracker’s Harvest Quality Vision detects and reports on the hue values of scans taken.
In colour theory, hue is one of the main properties of a colour. Each hue in the colour spectrum is represented by a number from 1-360, corresponding to degrees on a colour wheel like the image below.
The image below depicts the degrees in numerical order.
Within Croptracker, the 0 value (red) is in the centre of our class creation and reporting, as shown in the images below.
Harvest Quality Vision Scans generates a hue histogram for each scan taken. All hue detected in the bin are grouped together in this histogram to represent the likely distribution of colours throughout the rest of the bin. Hue histograms can be grouped together in Croptracker’s reporting by lot, growing area, variety, etc. For more information on setting up colour classes and reporting see the Harvest Quality Vision knowledge base page.
