Feather Ananlysis of the Barn Owl

An image-processing semesteral project of mine, made in 2012 during my studies at the Techion - the Israeli Institute of Technology.
The project won the Thomas Schwartz award of excellence - the best project of the semester.
A video demonstration of the GUI and operation can be found here.

Abstract

The barn owl is a very common night owl. A research conducted at the department of zoology of TAU examines the spots on its belly.
In this project, I built a software for their research. The software gets pictures of owls from the user, and produces statistical data about the spots on their plumage.
Plumage to data

Technical information

All of the development was in the laboratory of signal and image processing.
Principles of image processing used:

  • Image Correlation
  • Bootom Hat operation
  • K-Means Algorithm
