Mustad & Son A.S. (Mustad) and SINTEF Fiskeri og havbruk AS (SFH) for that purpose to clarify whether one should invest in a project to demonstrate about machine vision technology can potentially be used to sort hooks on board an autoline boat. Machine vision is the application of digital camera, computer and software for automatic inspection, classification and sorting.
It was concluded that it was worth investing in such a project and the development part of the project was formally started up in August 2005. The aim of the project has been to investigate whether machine vision can is used as a sensor in an automated total system to sort out hooks that need to be replaced or corrected. This inspection and sorting, correction and replacement is currently done manually.
The purpose of the project has been to:
1. Develop technology based on machine vision to sort used hooks on autoline vessels
2. Perform lab tests with selected technology on a wide range of defective and non-defective hooks to examine the performance of the system
3. Carry out prototype demonstrations for suppliers of autoline systems (Mustad and
BFG) and line fishermen / shipowners to consider continuation to a commercial end product
4. Propose further development races if equipment suppliers and fishermen are willing to do so.
