Mothra - BIDS project page banner 450x254

Mothra

Mothra analyzes images of butterflies and measures their wing lengths. Using binarization techniques and calculating the resolution of ruler ticks, we read in images of butterflies and output the millimeter lengths of their wings. The pipeline script combines four modules to analyze an image:... more
