leafmatrix
Leafmatrix is a term used to describe a grid-based representation of leaf tissues and traits used in plant science and computer visualization. It functions as a structured, numerical description of a leaf's morphology and physiology, enabling quantitative analysis and cross-study comparison. In practice, leafmatrix can refer to either a data structure or a methodological framework that converts imaging data into a multi-channel matrix or tensor.
A typical leafmatrix consists of a two-dimensional spatial grid where each location holds one or more feature
Construction of a leafmatrix relies on imaging and analysis pipelines, including microscopic imaging, hyperspectral imaging, or
Software implementations are typically built on scientific computing environments (for example, Python or MATLAB) and may
