- Dear collegue,
-
- In CIMMYT's wheat pathology group, several people are interested in Video Image
- Analysis (VIA). The applications that we have in mind are disease severity
- assessment and object countings and size measurements of microscope images.
- Since we do not have any equipment nor experience we would like to receive the
- opinion of (experienced) VIA-users (not necessarily with the same applications).
- First the hardware. What kind of digitizer card could you recommend. We are
- doubting between 8-bit and 24-bit frame grabbers and do not have a special
- brand in mind. Any recommendation?
- The video camera is the next part. We have seen several options in different
- price classes. What are the differences and what should we keep in mind when
- comparing different camera's?
- The computer we want to use is a 486 IBM compatible with 4mB RAM, 200mB Hard
- disk, a 1mB videocard, a HRVGA color monitor and a windows accelerator. We
- probably would need a second monitor for image display. Again, many monitors
- with different prices exist. What would you recomend?
- Finally, we come to the software. OPTIMUS from Bioscan ($ 4000,00) and JAVA
- from Jandel ($1500) are two commercial packages I know of. Does anybody have
- experience with one of them. Do you know of any other available software?
- We would very much appreciate if someone could help us to solve the mentioned
- problems.
