Automatic Dark Fibres Detection in Wool Tops

Is proposed a method for the automatic detection of dark fibres in wool tops based on image processing. A software which implements this method was developed, composed by five modules: KL projection, light correction, Gabor filtering, segmentation and morphology. The digital image are taken by a camera placed in a balanced illumination system. The method was calibrated and tested on 170 images marked by experts from Secretariado Uruguayo de la Lana. Key words: Dark Fibres Detection, Wool Industry, Balanced Illumination, Light Correction, Gabor Filtering
