in this study, the performance of a fabricated fluffer was evaluated and compared with common field curing methods for alfalfa. the drying rate, baling loss and alfalfa nutrient value (dry matter and crude protein) were the criteria for evaluation. the alfalfa was cut using a mower-conditioner. a randomized complete block experimental design was used with three treatments (fluffing swathed alfa...

This paper describes a study done to determine the color space characteristics of geometry, material, and illumination edges in simple images. To do this study, I built an image database of simple objects using the FLUFFER (Flexible Labeler used for Fundamental Edge Research) software developed at Swarthmore College [1]. After building the database, I analyzed the edges in the RGB, normalized r...
