Development of a Seed Analyzer using the Techniques of Computer Vision

Seed analyzer is a mechatronic system for differentiating different types of seeds. It has enormous applications in agriculture industry. Although several seed analyzers are available in the market, still there is large scope for improvement because of their various disadvantages. Most of the analyzers arebuilt using very simple image processing techniques and electronic principles. In this research paper, the proposed idea is to develop the method of identifying the best quality seeds by using the techniques of computer vision. Analysis of the resultant images has shown that the quality of the processed image using the proposed technique is improved considerably. The task of matching of the processed image with the stored database of the seeds is on our future work.
