WinDIAS provides high speed measurement and analysis of leaf area and leaf features, making it the ideal tool for plant pathology applications.

The WinDIAS system offers specialized image analysis features suitable for a wide range of applications in the plant sciences. It is specially suited to applications that need high color discrimination, for example in plant pathology. It provides a full set of measurement statistics, and can process up to 800 leaves per hour using the conveyor belt option. The WinDIAS components include a choice of high resolution color USB video cameras with a lightbox and overhead lighting rig to ensure good contrast and color rendition, or alternatively an A4 scanner with excellent depth of field.

For reporting and further analysis, all results and images from WinDIAS are easily exchanged with other Windows applications.

Rapid thresholding: Three thresholds can be set, each based on a different user-defined range of colors. The primary threshold is used for the main zones of interest in the image, e.g. healthy areas. The secondary and tertiary thresholds are used for other zones, e.g. diseased areas. Thresholds are set by a simple point and click with the mouse in a region of interest. The areas included are immediately visible as overlays on the image.
 

WinDIAS system options
Whether the need is for simple leaf area measurements or for a powerful, automated analysis system, researchers can specify a WinDIAS leaf area meter system that suits their particular requirements.

Rapid System
A powerful and complete leaf area system that can handle very long leaves and measure up to 800 leaves per hour. Includes video camera, camera stand, overhead lighting, WinDIAS Software and Conveyor Belt Unit.

Standard System
Similar to Rapid System but without Conveyor Belt option. Includes high resolution video camera. Typically processes 150 images per hour.

 
Entry Level System
Comprises WinDIAS Software and A4 flatbed scanner. Typically processes 50 images per hour (at high resolution).

Features

• Advanced leaf area meter + perimeter, length, width, object count and more
• Measures healthy, diseased and pest-damaged area
• Optional conveyor for quick results
• Choice of camera or scanner systems
