Occlusion Resilient Quality Evaluation of Cuminum cyminum L (Cumin Seeds) Using Machine Vision

Abstract

Quality evaluation of cumin seeds using machine vision technique suffer from system operational issues like occlusion or overlapping of seeds during test preparation by the operator of system. When due care is not taken by the system operator in spreading the seeds on the test tray, occlusion of the seeds occur. This severely deteriorates the system performance by dramatic change in quality value. The proposed α- trimmed mean filter based outlier rejection technique which makes the system occlusion resilient.
