Using Digital Image Analysis to assess grain quality

摘要

The grain industry is searching for faster, objective and more accurate methods to assess grain quality. Manual visual grain assessments are somewhat subjective and open to dispute. Different operators, operator fatigue and variable lighting conditions all affect these assessments. A standardised instrumental system, such as Digital Image Analysis (DIA) can provide objective visual assessments. A Digital Image Analysis instrument has been developed in a joint initiative between Bruce Armstrong, University of Ballarat Victoria and Marvin Weiss, Connecticut USA.
