Learning Goal
This goal of this powerpoint is to introduce STEMDIGITAL participants to the application, theory and steps for finding the area of an image using a combination of ADI tools: Spatial Analysis, Enhanced Colors and Masked Color

Aiptasia as a Model Organism for The Effect of Global Environmental Change on Corals
Background
• Coral bleaching--serious consequence of global environmental change.
• Corals have a symbiotic relationship with algae
* algae provide food* anemone provides shelter
• Coral bleaching– corals are stressed by environmental factors, release algae, turn white and die
• Environmental stress factors• increased water temperatures (global warming)• lower pH (ocean acidification)• pollution effects

Background Continued
• Aiptasia pallida -- small anemones similar enough to coral to be used as a model organism in labs.
• Unlike corals, Aiptasia are hearty and will not die if stressed to the point ofreleasing their symbiotic algae. They are able to get food by stingingand eating small organisms living in the water.
• Aiptasia -- can be used for coral bleaching research without harming them.
Aiptasia pallida The “bleached” Aiptasia on the right have released their algae due to environmental stress

• How big is this anemone? This is a question of area (in a 2 dimensional image)..
• ADI masking tool is used to find area by making pixels within a certain range black.
• First, you need to figure out the colors and intensities which distinguish the critter from its background.
• The Aiptasia above is light-colored and is on a white background. Enhanced Colors option is used to isolate the critter, colorwise.
A stressed Aiptasia pulls its tentaclesin thereby having less area availablefor photosynthesis. You can comparethe area taken up by the anemone before and after the addition of apotential stressor to see the effect.
ADI and Area Measurements– A change in area can indicate stress or growth in living things

Color Histograms
A color histogram is a graph of frequencies of the color intensities
Separate groupings of colors relate to different objects in the image
The white background has intensities of red, green an blue near100%.
The smaller color histograms (lower intensities) of RGB to the right correspond to the Aptasia In the next slide, the ADI rectangle tool was used to take a sample of pixels inside the Aiptasia

The three RGB peaks on the left (nearly 100% intensity) correspondto the white paper background. The RGB smaller bump, lowerIntensity, on the right corresponds to the Aiptasia in the photo

Manually isolating the min/max values which appear to be associated withthe Aiptasia, then masking those pixels gives an approximate image in black. Play around with min/max and mask colors to see the effect.

A more efficientand accurateway to maskpixels associatedwith the AiptasiaIs to use EnhanceColors option-this makes the critterstand out

Click on Mask Colors first
Then,draw aRectanglewhich encompassesa good sample of therange of red pixel intensitiesIn the critter
You will then get min/max values of the red pixels withinthe box
Finally, click on Apply Mask Test 1
Click off green and blue to speed processing
![Page 21: Investigations Using a Digital Camera To Observe and Quantify the Effects of Pollution on Aiptasia pallida, a Model Organism for Coral Presented by Jennifer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f1a5503460f94c2ff37/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
You can toggle back and forth from the original image to the masked image to see how thoroughlythe mask matches thereal critter. Then,manually adjust the min.Max values (fine tune) until the mask is an accurate representation.

The Effect of Crude Oil and Dispersant on Aiptasia-- Experiment
Research Questions• What is the effect of crude oil and dispersant on Aiptasia pallida? • How can a digital camera be used to quantify a change in area of the
Aiptasia in response to an environmental stressor?
Procedure1. Groups 1-5 set up the lab according to the lab directions handout.
(Testing oil alone and oil plus dispersant).2. Photograph and analyze photos using enhanced color and masked pixels.
Directions for ADI analysis are shown in this ppt and in the lab handout. 3. Groups 1-5 compare data with each other. 4. Groups 6-11 repeat steps 1-3 (testing dispersant only)
