Steelcase is looking to ensure color consistency before large purchase orders for their wood veneer furniture. In order to reduce waste due to veneer color issues, our clinic team is developing a portable veneer classification device that can verify veneer colors objectively in uncertain lighting conditions. The prototype is a mobile lightbox with an intuitive graphical user interface and a computer vision classification system.
