Successful utilization of an automated optical scanning system for the purpose of assessing the trash factor included in the grade classification of cotton was demonstrated in a study that featured analysis of cottons representing a broad range of trash levels and lint colors. The utility of image analysis as an absolute indication of grade-related differences in cotton was statistically confirmed. Sources contributing to the variability of nonlint assessment by optical imaging were defined and analyzed, as was the influence of interrelated grade factors such as lint coloration on optically measured contaminant levels. In a direct comparison with the Shirley Analyzer, computerized optical scanning was shown to be at least as reliable as this standard method for determining nonlint waste.

Optical Scanning System

The lateral eyes of the female Copilia are exceptionally large for a creature of its size but have very few receptors. These receptors appear to scan the image plane of the anterior lenses of the eye, but until now there has been no behavioural evidence linking their movement positively with the functioning of the eyes, though there is some (disputed) evidence that it is merely a side-effect of peristalsis. On channel-capacity grounds we might not have expected optical scanning to occur in biological systems, so any positive evidence for scanning, in the engineering sense, is particularly interesting. Optical measurements of the position of the image plane, in live intact female Copilia quadrata, generally corroborate Exner's (1891) finding that an image is in focus at the plane of the distal ends of the receptors, though the position of best focus seems slightly in front of a second lens, behind which the receptor structure lies. An alternative optical schema of Wolken and Florida (1969) is disproved. The position of focus satisfies minimal optical conditions for scanning. Movements of a coloured stripe pattern, used as a test object for the optical measurements, elicited the putatively scanning movements of the receptor structure, suggesting strongly that these really are an intrinsic part of normal visual functioning, not an epiphenomenon. It was also discovered that intermittent swimming movements of the limbs tend to be preceded by these photoreceptor movements. Both findings support the hypothesis that Copilia's eye is an optical scanning system.

Perceptual Property

Colour is the visual perceptual property in the cotton grade classification of Universal Cotton Standards. We undertook an experimental study on the variation in cotton colour using the Non-contact method. Rd (degree of reflectance) and +b (yellowness) are globally recognized colour parameters of cotton, which are measured by HVI (High Volume Instrument). The Non-contact method is used for the evaluation of colour variation within cotton samples. The results obtained from the Non-contact method were compared with those of other conventional methods used globally for the color measurement of cotton fibers. Additionally image analysis is interpreted with the variation in cotton colour. Results confirmed a strong co-relation between the Non-contact method and image analysis for the colour variation of cotton.
