The B&D WipChip process consists of four major functions:

Acquisition - capture of images from one or more cameras

Net - detects woodchip edges (delineation) using advanced automatic edge detection including valley discrimination and calibration variables

Sieving - calculation of the size distribution based on information from the delineated woodchips

Output - display of the size distribution results on the screen and the export of the size distribution results to external computers or networks.
