Abstract
Maturity of cotton fibers refers to the extent of development of their secondary wall and is an important characteristic. To characterize an d quantify cotton maturity, we have developed an imaging system based on our previous research on fiber cross-sectional shape analysis. In t his paper, we focus on methods of characterizing cotton fiber maturity . We review the techniques for processing images of fiber cross sectio ns, propose a new approach for describing cotton maturity and discuss other related characteristics.
