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: Total 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.

Other remarks Scanner: scan calibration circle 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.
