CSIRO�s Biotech Imaging team, who specialise in developing software to
analyse images automatically, worked with a UK personal care products
company to find a way to objectively test how well their hair removal
products work.
Hair counting is often done manually by human assessors. �It�s a
boring job and results are prone to errors and variations between
different people,� Dr Pascal Valloton, Leader of Biotech Imaging at
CSIRO said.

�Our software uses images captured by a small flatbed scanner pressed
onto the skin. The software crunches the numbers to analyse the image
of skin and hairs.

�Then, almost instantly, it reports information about the length and
number of hairs in the picture.

�You can compare the results with earlier images to see if hair is
growing quickly or slowly or has been properly removed by, say, a
depilatory cream.�
