日本鹌鹑产下的蛋有彩色和图案的蛋壳，这使得蛋壳的颜色很难分类。本研究建立了利用图像分析技术测量斑蛋颜色的方法，并探讨了其对个体差异的鉴别能力。蛋壳颜色和图案面积比例的估计重复性很高（>0.58），表明蛋壳颜色特征具有中等或高遗传力。在判别函数分析中，三个分量被确定为显著的。这三个分量解释了蛋色性状总方差的91.4%。在聚类分析中，78.3%的卵收集的15个女性的正确分类。本研究表明，蛋壳颜色特征可以可靠地研究图像分析，这种方法可以提供一个统一的字符列表，为未来的检查和解释鹌鹑蛋的特性。
The Japanese quail lays eggs with colourful and patterned shells which make the eggshell colour difficult to classify. In this study, the method of measuring colour of patchy eggs using image analyses and its power to discriminate among individual variation were established. Estimated repeatability for egg colour and proportion of patterned areas was high (>0.58), suggesting intermedíate or high heritability of eggshell colour characteristics. Three components have been identified as significant in discriminant function analysis. These three components explained 91.4% of the total variance in egg colour characteristics. In cluster analysis, 78.3% of the eggs that were collected from 15 females were correctly classified. This study indicates that eggshell colour characteristics can be reliably studied by image analyses and that this method can provide a unified character list for future examinations and interpretations of quail egg characteristics.
