“…Machine vision-based technique is another tool that has demonstrated the potential to replace several manual (visual) methods of grain grade/quality inspection (Jayas & Singh, 2012;Vithu & Moses, 2016). Color imaging systems are machine vision tools that can evaluate sample characteristics according to their visual appearance on the exterior surface (Divyanth et al, 2022a(Divyanth et al, , 2022bHosainpour et al, 2022;Olakanmi et al, 2023;Kheiralipour et al, 2022;Sabzi et al, 2022). Some of their applications include the identification of dockage and foreign material (Paliwal et al, 2003), insect presence (Ridgway et al, 2002), insect infestation (Ebrahimi et al, 2014), microbial infection (Qiu et al, 2019), seed germination , broken kernels (Luo et al, 1999), as well as detection of grain grade/class/type according to kernel size, shape, color, or texture (Majumdar & Jayas, 2000a, 2000b, 2000c, 2000dSabanci et al, 2017).…”
