YALE UNIVERSITY
This project is a collaboration between investigators at Yale University and at Duke University. Color is a crucial feature of many multicellular organisms. Scientific description of organism color requires detailed documentation of both the spectral and spatial variation in reflectance of the surface of the organism. Because many organisms use colors in communication and camouflage, organism color should be described over the entire visible spectrum of the organisms themselves, their predators, and ecological partners. Currently, there are no accepted technological methods for capturing detailed spectral data and spatial geometry at the same time. This project will develop a new technology to capture simultaneously an accurate, three-dimensional (3D) virtual model of organism surface geometry, and detailed data on the spatial variation in the spectral reflectance over the surface of the organism. The project will combine 3D laser scanning, hyperspectral imaging, and 3D surface . . . The complete abstract for this award is available in Research.gov at: www.research.gov.

| Quarterly Activities/Project Description |
Programming continues for development of softward to visualize avian color vectors from hyperspectal data sets on the surface grid models of the birds. The result will be quantitiative descriptions of what the bird plumage looks like to other birds. We are implementing a second hyperspectral imager using a commercial hyperspectral camera with a series of eight filters to image between 300-750 nm |
