segspace: Segment classification

Description

Calculates segment classification measures as defined in Endler (1990).

Usage

segspace(vismodeldata)

Arguments

vismodeldata

(required) quantum catch color data. Can be either the result from vismodel or independently calculated data (in the form of a data frame with four columns representing a generic 'tetrachromatic' viewer).

Value

A data frame of class colspace consisting of the following columns:

S1, S2, S3, S4: the relative reflectance at each of the four segments.

LM, MS: segment scores

C, H, B: 'chroma', 'hue' (degrees), and 'brightness' in the segment classification space
