The Fulton School
On Monday and Tuesday, I went to work at Benson Hill, which is a biotech company. I have been learning about a python module called OpenCV, which is meant for image processing.
I have been given a task for the week to count the number of seeds of rice in an image by creating a program that can read the picture. This is so any picture can be read and instantly analyzed rather than counted by hand every time.
What is particularly difficult is separating overlapping seeds in an image as the computer has trouble reading slight changes in pixel values.

Did you use anything we learned in computer science during the task?
It was mostly new, however I think the computer science classes helped me understand the new functions that were added with OpenCV.
