BARLEY VARIETIES FOR BREWING

Competitive Abilities of Oat and Barley Varieties

Identifying barley varieties by computer vision

Visual discrimination between barley varieties is difficult, and it requires training and experience. The development of automatic methods based on computer vision could have positive implications for the food processing industry. In the brewing industry, varietal uniformity is crucial for the production of high quality malt. The varietal purity of thousands of tons of grain has to be inspected...
