In Japan, the fan industry is more than 1200 years old. Skills have been passed down from generation to generation to this day. With the aging of the population, these skills have been lost due to the lack of continuity of the new generations. That is why the Meiji Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematical Sciences (MIMS), in collaboration with several local thousand-year-old companies, have proposed to re-establish the fan manufacturing industry with the use of new technologies in processes where human intervention is not essential and manufacturing processes can be accelerated by cutting production costs. The work focuses on the measurements of the surface roughness of the bamboo that is used as the skeleton of the fans and preliminary results are shown with four methods of recognition of the roughness of their surfaces from the processing and automatic recognition of their images.
