Funded Activity Summary
Intelligent and objective measurement of wool fibre diameter. More than a half million tones of wool produced in Australia per year are visually evaluated by human woolclassers. This fibre-classing process is subjective and heavily dependent on the experience of the classers. In this project, we will objectively measure wool fibre diameter by extracting features used by human woolclassers and by combining image processing and artificial intelligence. The fractal dimension calculated by fractal based texture analysis will be correlated to fibre diameter. This approach will provide an insight into an on farm and/or in shed objective measurement of wool fibre diameter.Funded Activity Details
