Information-Measuring System for Control of Apples by Size in Their Sorting

Abstract

The article provides information about the information-measuring system of the layout of the complex for sorting apples, which allows you to determine the maximum diameter of an apple when it moves along a roller conveyor. The control algorithm is based on the use of automated thresholding using the method of moments, as well as the Advanced Morphology operation. Studies have shown that the maximum diameter measurement error does not exceed 2 mm, and the influence of radial distortion is reduced to 0.17 % as a result of calibration.
