Optical measurements of sawdust dimensions

This article deals with optical measuring of sawdust dimensions by IP camera. Optical methods of sawdust dimensions measurement are relatively extended and offer more information about measurement sample than other methods. By descripted method it is possible to specify dimensions, perimeter, area of each particle, as well as eccentricity, centroid position, segmentation of edges and other. Using IP cameras to obtain the image with samples it is possible to measure sawdust, e. g. at the manufacturing, and to evaluate the results at another location (laboratory). This eliminates need to carry a measuring system to measuring location. Compared to other methods (e. g. sieve method), descripted method is repeatable because the samples are not mechanical damaged and crumbed by jolting through the sieves.
