Area Measuring with PC Camera

Area measurement and registration in different areas of the industry are done using different methods. One example is the production of leather. The different shape, thickness, and color of the leather makes this task a challenge. In the leather industry, a measurement method using photosensors and a video camera method have been successfully implemented. This paper presents the development of software that measures the area of leather with a USB camera. Such a system is implemented but it is necessary to manually set the measurement mode. It works through the method of dark and light spots and so dark (black) or light (white) skins are measured. The proposed new software is based on automatic color recognition against a green background.
