A research of the external quality grading detection for northeastern pine nuts based on improved C- V model

A nondestructive gradation method has been introduced for the external quality of northeastern pine nuts in this paper.Images of pine nuts were got by a CCD camera with improved C-V model to extract contour features.Feature parameters of pine nuts ' length and width were extracted by the method of mathematical morphology,and according to those and the measured values the mathematical model was established,and a comprehensive evaluation standard for the external quality of pine nuts grade was established too.The results were demonstrated that the external quality of multiple northeastern pine nuts could be graded simultaneously by the method in this paper with the accuracy of 97.2%.
