Prior to the previous post, I also finished a paper entitled “Automatic milled rice quality evaluation” that’s about to appear in one international conference proceedings. The idea is to build a low-cost, efficient, and reliable alternative for the milled rice quality evaluation. As you know, some rice quality standards require the grading factors or defectives in terms weight (grams) , making this problem a very challenging and interesting one! Read on, some results are discussed in the succeeding paragraphs.
This is the block diagram of the milled rice quality evaluation system, comprised of 6 different stages.
Few months ago, I completed a utility capable of measuring the percentage by weight of headrice, broken kernels and brewers for BPRE. A screen shot is shown below.
The software is used for determining the grain size of a given milled rice sample. Additional information about other milled rice grade factors are also provided as follows:
- Total number of kernels and weight of the milled rice sample
- Number of headrice and weight
- Number of broken kernels including its total weight
- Brewers
I will provide more information soon. Keep posted! And hey… feel free to comment. Tell me what you think!
