SpotEgg: a tool to analyse colour in digital images

Outreach

Open Call for Research Projects in ICTS-Doñana!

The Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructure Doñana Biological Reserve (ICTS-Doñana) announces the opening of a call for international research projects in the Doñana Natural Space.

Selected projects will receive a grant of up to €10,000 per application, intended to cover expenses such as travel and per diems for researchers, consumables, and small research project materials.

Priority will be given to international projects that collaborate with Spanish research teams in Doñana Natural Space, that make use of the facilities of the ICTS and/or use environmental monitoring data provided by ICTS-Doñana.

The call for proposals will remain open until 30 June 2024, with priority given to projects led by young researchers and women.

Send your research project in Spanish or English with the CV of the Principal Researcher to direccion.ebd@csic.es

A user-friendly tool, called SpotEgg, has been developed to analyse colour and pattering in digital images. The tool, operated through a Graphical User Interface, runs over Matlab 2012b or latter and was primarily aimed to analyse colouration in bird´s eggs. Nevertheless it can also measure reflectances and spottiness in any other type of objects as insects, feathers, frogs, etc. SpotEgg's main advantage is a custom designed spot detection algorithm. Additionally, it allows to reduce time-consuming routinary tasks when analysing digital images. The tool is available for downloading at the following webpage: https://www2.imse-cnm.csic.es/~linan/SPOTEGG/SpotEgg_Web_Site/main.html. informacion[at]ebd.csic.es: Gomez & Liñan-Cembrano (2016) SpotEgg: An image-processing tool for automatised analysis of colouration and spottiness.
