Evolutionary Biology of Coloration. A revolutionary approach using multispectral imaging and pattern recognition engineering

我开发了一种新的方法，用数字成像技术来量化生物体的颜色。传统的数码相机比色法通常只将可见光光谱细分为三个波段(RGB)，而新方法可以使401个波段的图像达到最大分辨率，记录从紫外线到可见光的波长信息。这一新方法有望为着色剂的进化研究带来革命性的进展。

I have developed a new method to quantify coloration of organisms with digital imaging techniques. Conventional colorimetry using digital cameras usually subdivided the visible spectrum into only three bands (RGB), whereas the new method can make 401-band images in the maximum resolution, which record wavelength information from the ultraviolet to the visible region. This new method is expected to lead to revolutionary advances of studies of evolution of coloration.
