Background: The Barn Owl (תנשמת) is the most widely distributed species of owl, and one of the most widespread of all birds. It is most recognizable by its mask-like face. The Barn Owl feeds primarily on small vertebrates, particularly rodents. Farmers, also in Israel, often find these owls more effective than poison in keeping down rodent pests, and they encourage Barn Owl habitation by providing nest sites. The plumage surface of barn owls is covered by black spots. For each individual the number, size and location of spots is unique. |

Definition: In this project it is desired to use image processing techniques to automatically analysis the color of feathers of the barn owl as well as to analyze the spottiness of its plumage. We will use images taken by researcher from the Dept. of Zoology in the Tel-Aviv University and the results will be used for their research.
