Homepage
SYNOPSIS
The MorphoLeaf application allows you to extract the contour of multiple leaf images and identify their biologically-relevant landmarks.
These landmarks are then used to quantify morphological parameters of individual leaves and to reconstruct average leaf shapes.
MorphoLeaf is developed by the Modeling and Digital Imaging and the Transcription Factors and Architecture teams of the Institut Jean-Pierre Bourgin, INRA Versailles, France, and the Biophyscis and Development group at RDP, Lyon.
