Nowadays, there is a growing demand for quality fruits and vegetables that are simple to prepare and consume, like minimally processed fruits. These products have to accomplish some particular characteristics to make them more attractive to the consumers, like a similar appearance and the total absence of external defects. Although recent advances in machine vision have allowed for the automatic inspection of fresh fruit and vegetables, there are no commercially available equipments for sorting of minority processed fruits, like arils of pomegranate (Punica granatum L) or segments of Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu) ready to eat. This work describes a complete solution based on machine vision for the automatic inspection and classification of these fruits based on their estimated quality. The classification is based on morphological and colour features estimated from images taken in-line, and their analysis using statistical methods in order to grade the fruit into commercial categories.

Nondestructive Quality

Application of nondestructive sorting of fruits can be direct or indirect. Direct applications involve mainly objective means of establishing grades and quality of fruits and vegetables, as well as use of light-sorting and other nondestructive means for determining when a crop should be harvested or whether it should be marketed fresh or processed immediately. Indirect applications might be termed “research” usage of nondestructive sorting. Plant breeders would find nondestructive techniques useful for rapidly evaluating quality characteristics during the development of high quality cultivars. Physiologists could utilize it to rapidly determine the effects of treatments upon the quality of the commodity. Examples of development of techniques of light-sorting of blueberries and grapes for ripeness are discussed.

Plastic Gears

Small plastic gear is generally made by injection molding.But the injection molding process and mold have problems with missing tooth, shrink, more material, less material and inaccurate roundness and so on. Furthermore, using manual inspection will appear phenomenon of low efficiency, false detection and leak detection. To solve these problems, this paper introduces an automatic inspection system of small plastic gears based on machine vision. The system consists of feeding and sorting machine control system and machine vision inspection system of the gear defects. Mechanical control use digital servo control technology to achieve automatic nesting, feeding, positioning of gear workpiece, and depend on the inspection result of machine vision system to sort. After acquired gear image through a camera, Machine vision system uses median filtering, binarization, edge detection algorithms to process image. Then the system adopts template matching algorithm to obtain the inspection result and send the result to the sorting controller, which achieve automatic smart inspection of gear. The automatic inspection system has accurate, efficient, intelligent and other advantages.
