This article presents an eggshell crack inspection using image processing techniques. This approach uses the concept of industrial 4.0 to reduce manual coordination in the egg industry’s manufacturing process. The method started with receiving images from a webcam camera. Then, we rescaled the image to 1147 x 633 for faster computation. Next, divide the image into the red and green channels. The red channel image was converted to grayscale using a Gaussian blur filter with a kernel filter 11 x 11 to reduce noise, followed by turning the image to binary. After that, multiply the binary image with the grayscale of the green channel to remove the background. By that time, a morphological operation was used to enhance the quality of the image. Finally, use the contour matrix to find the area of the object and then build the condition to detect the crack in the eggshell. These techniques of image processing are used to inspect the eggshell crack with a high accuracy of more than 98% as well as the high performance of computing.
This paper presents a method for classifying the overlapped eggs and counting the number of eggs on the conveyor belt using image processing techniques. The image was acquired by a webcam camera that connected to the computer and then rescaled. The image was then converted to grayscale and noise was reduced using a Gaussian blur filter. Otsu’s Binarization is used to convert the image to binary. The binary image is then subjected to morphological operations. Following that, using the Watershed Algorithm, separate the egg’s overlapped area. Finally, the prepared image is ready to be counted using the contour matrix method. This method independently classifies each egg segmentation and can count up to 18 eggs per frame with a processing time of less than 1 second.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
