Particle-Size Analysis of Wood Fiber and Powder Based on Image Processing and Recognition

This article describes how to realize a wood fiber and powder automatic production and detection, using a mesh detection method based on image processing and particle-size analysis. With this method, the image will be transformed into an HSV color space, segmented based on S component with OSTU; calculated and analyzed with shape factor F, then rectangle fit, and finally the rectangle's length is converted into mesh. During wood flour mesh recognition, this article proposes the use of a rectangle fitting algorithm. In accordance with the actual demand for mesh recognition, a micro-nano wood flour mesh recognition system based on a modular approach has been designed and developed. This is as well as a mesh recognition design program based on wood flour features. The experiments and particle-size analysis results demonstrate that compared with traditional methods, the proposed approach is of higher accuracy and appropriate for extension.
