Rice Grain Computer Vision

We require an Image Processing specialist to implement a Computer Vision algorithm using either Google, IBM, Amazon or Microsoft platform. You will be in charge of trainig the Neural network using any of the commercial available platforms in order to assess 13 different parameters from a rice sample. Rice parameters include size (length with), Color (white, brown, yellow, etc), and opacity. The hardware is already implemented and capturing images using a high definition sensor. You will process the images captured on a local computer which has Internet access and you will be in charge of implementing software services and algorithms which will create a statistical report representative of the sample including, timstamp, physical, morphological and quality. The project will bedeveloped in tree phases: 1. Proof of concept (including Software Platform Setup) 2. Hardware Optimmization 3. Release 2.0 including new features (increased accuracy, mobile app, management interface) The end user is the Rice Mill Laboratory Technician User interfacce should be parametrizable in both Spanish and English Some background information can be found in this research paper [login to view URL] Please estimate your time (in weeks hours or days) and budget (rate per hour) for each one of the three phases. Also if you have any pre-requisites, please let us know. Thank you, Frank S. Ferro Project Manager ICT Pros Bogotá Colombia
