Discrimination of bark from wood chips through texture analysis by image processing

Utilization of wood chips for bioenergy requires classification and segregation of the constituents of the chipped mass to help optimize energy conversion. Wood chips obtained from processes such as forest thinning can contain a considerable amount of material other than wood chips, such as bark. An image processing algorithm was developed to discriminate bark from wood chips. The algorithm involved object identification, image capture, single value decomposition to describe wood texture evident in grayscale image with a single numerical value, and application of logistic models involving the single values representative of wood texture to predict whether a chip is bark. The percentage of correct predictions using this system was about 98%.     

Automatic counting of annual rings on Pinus sylvestris end faces in sawmill industry

One of the essential requirements of current agricultural practice is the need to evolve towards crop techniques that make better use of productive factors behaving in sustainable and environmentally respectful ways. Pest control is one of the most important problems to take into account, due to the significant production losses that pests may cause. The Integrated Production for olive crop defines a set of rules that has to be followed in order to ensure a production of higher quality, and promotes an environmentally respectful model of Olive cultivation. This work presents SAIFA (spanish acronym for Sistema de Alerta e Información Fitosanitaria Andaluz - Andalusian Phitosanitary Information and Alert System) a web-based information system which allows monitoring the Integrated Production for the olive crop in Andalusia, Spain. SAIFA has been built as a tool to assist agricultural technicians to comply with the quality standards of Integrated Production, and to help decision makers to choose the actions to be performed in the crop. Also, it assists coordinators to choose an Integrated Production strategy applicable for the whole region with the main objective of ensuring the safety of crops and reporting the current phitosanitary state to the authorities.     

Detecting fruits in natural scenes by using spatial-frequency based texture analysis and multiview geometry

This paper describes a computer vision based model for object detection that can serve as a preliminary step in fruit prognosis, which involves the estimation of the number, diameter and yield of apple fruits. In order to overcome the recognition unreliability in uncontrolled environments caused by uneven illumination conditions, partly occluded surfaces, and similar background features, we rely on a combination of the object's colour, texture and 3D shape properties. In our research, we apply colour segmentation to multiple scene snapshots to separate potential regions from the background and verify them first with texture analysis and second by reconstructing them to 3D space. By analysing all three distinct features (colour, texture and 3D shape) of possible areas, we can safely conclude if they represent fruits we are looking for. Once we detect and verify all areas representing fruits, we can measure their size and model estimated fruit yield.     

A morphological assessment system for ‘show quality’ bovine livestock based on image analysis

Morphological assessment is one important parameter considered in conservation and improvement programs for bovine livestock. This assessment process consists of scoring an animal based on its morphology and is normally carried out by highly qualified staff. These animals are all of agreed ‘show quality’ and hence they are morphologically very similar.This paper presents a system designed to provide an assessment based on a lateral image of the cow. The system consists of two main parts: a feature extraction stage, to reduce the information on the cow in the image to a set of parameters, and a neural network stage to provide a score based on that set of parameters. For the image analysis section, a model of the animal is constructed by means of the point distribution model (PDM) technique. Later, that model is used in the searching process within each image, which is implemented using genetic algorithms (GAs). As a result of this stage, the vector of weights that describe the deviation of the given shape from the mean is obtained. This vector is used in the second stage, where a multilayer perceptron is trained to provide the desired assessment, using the scores given by experts for selected cows.The system has been tested with 138 images corresponding to 44 individuals of a special rustic breed, with very promising results, given that the information contained in only one view of the cow can not be considered complete.

Detection of head blight (Fusarium ssp.) in winter wheat by color and multispectral image analyses

The use of camera vision to automatically detect head blight (scab) on wheat ears could provide information about the severity of this dangerous disease and help meet future food traceability requirements. Fusarium spp. is dangerous for both human and animal consumption and the ability to monitor symptom location and severity before the harvested product is further processed or stored could help determine whether the grain is fit for human/animal consumption, for bio-conservation, or is completely unusable.To generate various infection levels, field trials were conducted in 2008 and 2009 using wheat varieties with differing levels of susceptibility to the disease; plots were artificially infected with a spore suspension. A color (red, green, and blue) and a multispectral (red, infrared) camera system with real-time image analysis software were developed and compared to detect disease symptoms in the plots.The chlorophyll defect of the infected wheat ears was classified against the image background by setting binarization thresholds. The result was a black and white image. Single pixels or tiny clusters of pixels not belonging to the symptoms were eliminated by setting an area threshold. For both systems, a linear correlation was found between the camera and the visually detected disease levels of the wheat ears in the plots.In the non-infected control plots without disease symptoms, the multispectral system accurately measured “no disease” even though the digital color system detected too much infection (i.e., a false positive). The multispectral system showed a superior calibration capacity. While the color system had to calibrate for each variety, the multispectral system used only one calibration step before starting the measurements.

Real-time 3D transesophageal echocardiography-guided closure of a complicated patent ductus arteriosus in a dog

Advanced imaging modalities are becoming more widely available in veterinary cardiology, including the use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in dogs. The dog in this report had a complex history of attempted ligation and a large PDA that initially precluded device placement thereby limiting the options for PDA closure. Following a second thoracotomy and partial ligation, the morphology of the PDA was altered and device occlusion was an option. Angiographic assessment of the PDA was limited by the presence of hemoclips, and the direction of ductal flow related to the change in anatomy following ligature placement. Intra-operative TEE, in particular real-time three-dimensional imaging, was pivotal for assessing the PDA morphology, monitoring during the procedure, selecting the device size, and confirming device placement. The TEE images increased operator confidence that the size and location of the device were appropriate before release despite the unusual position. This report highlights the benefit of intra-operative TEE, in particular real-time three-dimensional imaging, for successful PDA occlusion in a complicated case.
