Measurement based on images Scientific principleS • Using images or other 2D-data to compute measurement results • Measurement results may be • Scalar numbers • Vectors • 2D – matrices • 3D – structures • Statistical data-analysis Phases of the procedure: • Image as information source • Image acquisition systems – production of images • Preprocessing of image • Analysis of image data • Result handling • Accuracy and reliability of results COST E54 Tampere
Measurement based on imagesRIDING ON MEGATRENDS • Digital photography • Sensor technology • Better quality imagesavailable • Computer technology • Usually much data – megapixels; speed, memory, parallel processing, 2D-memory models • Computational methods • Image analysis; computer tomography • Computational efficiency; transform methods COST E54 Tampere
Information in image is usually wordless.It must be analyzed and combined. Not Easy! University needed! Whatcanbemeasuredfromimages? Images contain hugeamount of information. What game? Clothing? Who is the Winner? Ages? Whatspecies? Thickness? Weatherconditions? Parasiticgrowth? How many? What kinds? All males? Healthy? COST E54 Tampere
