Abstract: The present paper reports the development of a machine vision system for quality inspection of wheat using kernel shape attribute. Shape attribute of agricultural products including wheat kernels is extremely difficult to quantify in digital computation. A new method is proposed in the present work to quantify shape attribute of wheat kernels using regional boundary descriptors. Recognition task in the proposed machine vision system is carried out by neural classifier trained with Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) based supervised learning. Proposed neural classifier was executed using feed-forward back propagation based three layer artificial neural network. Experimental results indicate more than 98.1% overall average classification accuracy for the involved wheat and impurity elements in the present work. The results of present study are quite promising and the proposed machine vision system has potential future for on-line inspection of agriculture produce in real time environment.
