Methodology
This analysis employs standardized computational methods for objective image characterization. Color extraction uses k-means clustering algorithm. Texture analysis applies Haralick feature extraction. Brightness metrics include mean, variance, and distribution analysis. Spatial patterns are characterized through coherence and clustering measurements. All methods are deterministic and reproducible. Analysis performed by Ideamorphic Studies' computational imaging systems.
