Analysis of Rice Granules Using Image Processing and Neural Network

This document discusses using image processing and neural networks to analyze and classify basmati rice granules. Digital images of rice granules are acquired and then preprocessed using techniques like median filtering, adaptive thresholding, and Canny edge detection. Morphological features like perimeter, area, and axis lengths are extracted from the images. These features are then input into a neural network to classify the rice granules by grade based on their features. The results show this automated image-based classification system can grade rice samples more accurately and quickly than human experts.

Analysis of rice granules using image

processing and neural network


ABSTRACT:
In food handling industry, grading of
granular food materials is necessary
because samples of material are subjected
to adulteration. In the past, food products
in the form of particles or granules were
passed through sieves or other mechanical
means for grading purposes. In this paper,
analysis is performed on basmati rice
granules; to evaluate the performance
using image processing and Neural
Network is implemented based on the
features extracted from rice granules for
classification grades of granules. Digital
imaging is recognized as an efficient
technique, to extract the features from rice
granules in a non-contact manner. Images
are acquired for rice using camera.
Conversion to gray scale, Median
smoothing, Adaptive thresholding, Canny
edge detection, Sobel edge Detection,
morphological operations, extraction of
quantitative information are the checks
that are performed on the acquired image
using image processing technique through
Open source Computer Vision (Open CV)
which is a library of functions that aids
image processing in real time.

The morphological features acquired from


the image are given to Neural Network.
This work has been done to identify the
relevant quality category for a given rice
sample based on its parameters. The
performance of image processing reduced
the time of operation and improved the
crop recognition greatly. Grading results
obtained from Neural Network system
shows greater accuracy when compared
with the outputs from human experts.

Image Acquisition and


Smoothing
The first step in image processing is Image
Acquisition. Acquirement of an image is done
by using Nikon camera beneath homogeneous
lighting arrangement. Customary measures are
applied for improving the value of an image
through Pre-processing techniques. In this
paper, smoothing is done using Median Filters.

Candy Edge detection:
This is based on recognition of edges by
diverse edge operators. Discontinuities in
colour, grey level, texture, etc. are detected by
edge operators. Canny edge detector is a most
favourable detector which gives finest filtered
image. The gray scale image boundaries are
detected by this optimal recognition process.

Thresholding : The subsequent step is to


segment an image which is one of the
imperative stages in image analysis. The
accurateness of this action is greatly reliant on
consequently extracted records. Thresholding
is a practice based on assimilation of light in
their surfaces to exemplify the regions of the
image. Threshold is to detach the regions in an
image with reverence to the stuffs, which is to
be analyzed.

Feature Extraction:
Extraction of quantitative information from
segmented images is dealt with Feature
Extraction. Object identification and
classifications are performed based on diverse
algorithms of morphological features. The
features which were extracted from images of
rice kernels are Perimeter, Area, Minor-axis
Length and Major-axis Length using Contour
detection
