+# Automatically detect a color card and color correct in one step
+
+Corrects the color of the input image based on the target color matrix using an affine transformation
+in the RGB space after automatic detection of a color card within the image. A one-step wrapper of
+[plantcv.transform.detect_color_card](transform_detect_color_card.md), [plantcv.transform.std_color_matrix](std_color_matrix.md),
+[plantcv.transform.get_color_matrix](get_color_matrix.md), and [plantcv.transform.affine_color_correction](transform_affine_color_correction.md).
+
+**plantcv.transform.auto_correct_color**(*rgb_img, label=None, \*\*kwargs*)
+
+**returns** corrected_img
+
+- **Parameters**
+    - rgb_img          - Input RGB image data containing a color card.
+    - label            - Optional label parameter, modifies the variable name of observations recorded. (default = `pcv.params.sample_label`)
+    - **kwargs         - Other keyword arguments passed to `cv2.adaptiveThreshold` and `cv2.circle`.
+        - adaptive_method  - Adaptive threhold method. 0 (mean) or 1 (Gaussian) (default = 1).
+        - block_size       - Size of a pixel neighborhood that is used to calculate a threshold value (default = 51). We suggest using 127 if using `adaptive_method=0`.
+        - radius           - Radius of circle to make the color card labeled mask (default = 20).
+        - min_size         - Minimum chip size for filtering objects after edge detection (default = 1000)
+- **Returns**
+    - corrected_img    - Color corrected image
+
+- **Example Use**
+    - Below
+
+```python
+
+from plantcv import plantcv as pcv
+
+rgb_img, imgpath, imgname = pcv.readimage(filename="top_view_plant.png")
+
+corrected_rgb = pcv.transform.auto_correct_color(rgb_img=old_card)
+```
+
+**Debug Image: automatically detected and masked the color card**
