Determination of Rice Kernel Parameters Using Image Processing

Rice is the most widely consumed staple food across the world. Individual kernel investigation is important for the quality analysis of a given sample. The manual technique for the same is time consuming and tedious approach. The results of manual analysis depend on the skill, attitude and vengeance of a quality inspector. An image processing technique provides a quick and easy means of investigating rice parameters. This paper presents the procedure for calculation of length, width and colour of rice kernels using image processing. The manifestation of proposed grain analyser set-up capable of analysing grain sample from all possible side is explained. The classification of seeds according to Cambodia standard is also illustrated in this paper.
