Description: Quality and consistence of slatted concrete floors affect the not only the lifespan of the floors but also the animal foot health. This paper aims to develop a computer image-based utility to quality the consistence of slat and gap dimensions of slated concrete floors, as well as floor surface roughness in pig barns. ImageJ, a Java-based image processing program in the public domain, was used to develop the utility. From a floor image taken directly in the barn, and variations in slat and gap dimensions were quantified to assess the consistence of slats and gaps. A surface roughness index was estimated from the image. A correlation between the measured roughness and the roughness index predicted by the utility was developed. The results were in good agreement with the measured values.
