This paper presents a novel image processing algorithm that has been developed and tested for the accurate segmentation of contacting rice grains in digital images. This algorithm uses general shape properties for initial decision making, then examines concave curvature in the shape boundary to select dasiasplit pointspsila to draw a segmenting dasiasplit linepsila between contacting grains at the...
In electrical power generation there are many problems that may be solved through the application of image analysis. The presence of non ore gangue materials mixed with coal can have an impact on the combustion efficiency and emissions of power plants. Also known as tailings, often these materials are a hazardous byproduct of mining. Differentiation between coal and gangue is desirable for fuel quality...
In the food industry there are various foodstuffs in the form of grains. Of particular importance is rice, being a commodity crop. The ability to recognize defining characteristics for identification is desirable as fraudulent mislabeling of rice grain varieties is a growing problem. In the present work a digital imaging approach has been devised in order to investigate different types of characteristics...
