Model output in which synthetic multifilter asteroid observations are converted to taxonomic types with lightcurve correction based on a dedicated VR-band lightcurve sequence (black), on a polynomial fit to an interwoven reference filter during the color sequence (red), and without any correction (blue). If lightcurves did not influence taxonomic assignment, the number of returned objects in each type (nfound) would equal to the number injected (ninjected). Lightcurve correction clearly moves the derived taxonomic distribution closer to the true (injected) population. See the text for more details.
