A Novel Noninvasive Sensing Approach of Assessment of Pelt Quality

The separation of the upper dermal of the skin (the papillary layer or grain) from the lower dermis (corium) is regarded as a defect in leather making. It is difficult to detect pelts at an early processing stage and it only becomes really apparent once the skin is made into leather. There would be...
