Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9406092A1] In automatic evaluation of cereal kernels or like granular products handled in bulk, the kernels are conveyed on a vibrating belt conveyor (15). Owing to the vibrations, the kernels are spread and settle in grooves (14) in the belt so as to be oriented in essentially the same direction. A video camera (40) produces digital images of all the kernels on the belt. The kernels are identified in the images, and for each kernel input signals are produced to a neural network based on the picture element values for the picture elements representing the kernel. Then the neural network determines to which of a plurality of predetermined classes each kernel belongs.
