Digital Image Analysis — Essence and Application in Cereal Science

  • Chapter
Physical Methods in Agriculture

Abstract

Sight is the most important sense of a human allowing him to perceive the surrounding world. Size, shape, structure and colour of examined objects are easily recognised by human eye and brain and simultaneously verify whether they correspond to the standard. Interpretation of images registered solely by the sight is somehow limited by the observer’s perception. Increased number of objects and their mobility resulted in difficulties of proper interpretation of human observations. Moreover, the eyes become tired quite fast, thus their ability to differentiate selected features of the object decreases.
