Abstract

A low cost real time method of determining the density of grit applied to sandpaper does not currently exist. This thesis will explore three methods for determining grit density from digital image data. A means to characterize the application in terms of frequency by using direct cosine transform basis images will be explored. An RX detector algorithm to characterize the image background will be tested. A linear unmixing methodology will be developed that characterizes the proportion of glue and grit present in each hyperspectral pixel vector.
