Videometer image analysis progra Videometer image analysis progra Microsoft picture viewer No, specifically developed Possible to buy if you contact: http://videometer.com/ with a reference to The Danish AgriFish Agency, Department of Variety Testing 5. Recording conditions 6. Volume of data 7. Other remarks The material samples (cotyledon and petals) shall be fixed on paper with adhesive plastic foil. The paper has preprinted barcode, plot number etc.. The paper with the fixed the material are put in the flatbed scanner. Before image analysis of each characteristic can begin the software should calibrated using a calibration sheet from the developer Approximately 14 Gb per year Applications: Pea, pelargonium, impatiens, willow (leaves) Rape, mustard, fodder radish (leaves, flowers) Red clover (Cotyledon leaves, first leaves) Costs/savings: Depending on crop and object savings are higher than costs. Other remark: There is a need for a programmer with special knowledge how (at least part-time). It is possible to scan images at first and to make measurements later when there is more time therefore. Technical: 1. Hardware camera 1. Hardware processing 1.

Other remarks Scanner: scan calibration circle (Ø12cm) to get the resolution we don’t use the color information digital camera: flash (ring flash) and background light 2011: 80 GB image data (14.300 files) Application : grain length Cost/savings: After arranging the seeds for the picture and taking of photographs, the analysis takes only a portion of time compared to manual measurements. Accurate costs and savings of IA has not been done, but roughly 10-20% of time is needed by using IA in these measurements. 1. Hardware camera 1. Hardware processing 1.

Other remarks LIGHT= 2 36W SAMPLING DENSITY: 12 – 50 grains for variety CAMERA TYPE: color video camera CALIBRATION PROCEDURE: We use a ruler as reference and we follow the calibration instructions of the program. approx 50 KB per variety Remark: We are using a seed scanner for analysis of "other species" in cereals. This machine uses image analysis (a camera connected to a computer with programs for the different cereal species) for distinguishing between the seed in the sample and other seeds. In a sample it sorts out around 10% of the seeds, both of other seeds and seeds that are somehow considered not OK, so instead of manually going through 1000 gr the analyst can go through around 100 gr. This saves a lot of time. The scanner can be loaded with up to 30 samples and works even during nights. (NIAB) Applications:

Recording conditions 6. Volume of data The Digital System is on a digital camera using 2 11w lights @ 6000k which equate to natural light. The camera is suspended above a level surface. A reference object is incorporated into every picture. The IA program links with the studio Controller. The controller has special routines to handle camera aperture white noise etc. The linkage program has been specifically adapted by a consultant to allow menu driven options for each crop and to allow the entry of plot numbers. Once the controller has taken a picture the file is downloaded and re- opened by the IA program running in the background. The IA program will automatically analyze the picture and store the results in a data file. This allows the user to move any touching or irregular objects, thus equating to a live system. However the Controller can be used in isolation, storing the images to be batch processed at a later time. Once all plots have been photographed and analyzed via the batch process, thumbnail images can be examined and any outliers can be removed. 300 GB (SASA) Applications: Pea: Stipule. measurement, Petiole. measurement, Pod measurement, Peduncle measurement; Leaflet measurement, Seed shape measurement; Parsnip: Root measurement; Brassica crops: Cotyledon measurement; Brussels Sprout: Sprout measurement; Watercress: Foliage measurement; Costs/savings:
