Method for Monitoring the Quality Properties of a Cellulose Bale in a Bale Line

A method for monitoring geometrical properties of a pulp bale (1) in a baling line of a pulp machine, comprising:

• cutting pulp sheets and stacking the cut sheets to form a pulp bale (1);
• taking images of the pulp bale (1) with a camera system;
• evaluating the images with a computer-implemented computational model for image analysis, wherein
• the computer model identifies geometric elements of the pulp bale (1) on the images, the elements selected from a group consisting of corners, edges (3), surfaces (2) and volume of the pulp bale, and
• the computer model assesses the geometric properties of the pulp bale (1) from the identified geometric elements of the pulp bale (1), and wherein
• the computational model is trained with a training data set comprising training images of pulp bales (1), and for the individual training images, the identified geometric elements of the pulp bale (1) and the assessment of the geometric properties of the pulp bale (1).
