Abstract :
Interdigital sensors have been successfully employed in various fields; in this paper we attempted to determine the looseness in sheep skins using interdigital sensors. Looseness is one of the quality attributes that determines the value of the leather. A low cost interdigital based sensing system with an effective data acquisition system has been designed.
