Caption

This is an image of leaves in the Lauraceae family that includes bay laurel, camphor, various cinnamons, avocado and others. These cleared leaves have "heat mapping" by the computer vision system that shows leaf attributes important to characterization and classification of the leaves into the Lauraceae family. Depth of color indicates importance of attributes. The heat map shows that many locations on the leaf edges are important as are many vein intersections.
