Analysing information content in images of paper straws using image processing, machine learning and deep learning

Papperssugrör kan förhoppningsvis ersätta dagens plastsugrör på mindre dryckesförpackningar, för att minska engångsanvändningen av plast över hela världen. Tetra Pak producerar sina egna papperssugrör i Lund, och undersöker möjligheten att övervaka produktionen med hjälp av bilder på de producerade sugrören. I detta arbete ligger fokus på styrkan hos tippen på sugröret, och vilken kraft som behövsContinuous production control is important for the production using Tetra Pak equipment, as problems that are found early in the chain of production can minimize the need for waste greatly. In production of paper straws, a possible production control could be to photograph straws during production, analyse these and predict how good the straw is, using the image. If the predicted performance of th
