Available to members Sceye Matlab computational system, core + Image analysis toolbox outputs of Matlab are saved as common image files, no special software is required Capture: Process: partially, added own No 5. Recording conditions 6. Volume of data 7. Other remarks Image obtained in dark chamber, resolution 300 pt, calibration using coin. Per year: Pea 5 GB, Oilseed rape 20 GB. Image analysis in the is still under development, primary goal: resting suitable characteristics for pea and oilseed rape Application: Rape seed: Cotyledon, Petals and Siliqua Barley: Ear length, Ear length of awns Wheat. Ear length Cost/saving: cost for hard and software of applying image analysis are approximately 20.000 euros. Cost savings are mainly obtained in the image analysis of Rape seed characteristics of the siliqua. An advantage using image analysis is that it is possible to retrieve the image of the actual recorded data. Technical: 1. Hardware camera 1. Hardware processing 1.

Volume of data 7. 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:
