For suspension culture analysis, the detailed RGB (red-green-blue) information extracted in each of the color microscopic images did not allow separation of pigmented cells and cell aggregates from non-pigmented entities and background in the medium, however, conversion of RGB data to the HSI (hue-saturation-intensity) coordinate system permitted clear separation of object classes based on a combination of dimensional and photometric information. Further segmentation using saturation and intensity characteristics of the HSI values allowed categorization of low, medium, and highly-pigmented cells and aggregates in the mixed suspension culture, and both machine vision on-line and off-line data were able to track both biomass accumulation and anthocyanin pigment formation over time as verified by conventional (mass and spectrophotometric) analysis of the same culture.","The degree of Ajuga cell aggregation was shown to correlate with cell anthocyanin formation.
