컬러 영상처리를 이용한 오이 자동 선별 제어 시스템 개발

The quality of agricultural products is represented a degree of freshness and a special quality related to a commercial value. To grade cucumber, the charge-coupled device(CCD) camera is only used to measure external qualities like color. size and degree of bended cucumber The processed area of the image replaces the weigh of cucumber. That means there is no longer used the weighing beams. The system consists of Image processing system and distributing system. This paper explains the structure and movement of the automatic grade system and applies the algorithm for deformed cucumber and characteristics of cucumber through image processing to the grade system.
