Testing the quality of cereals and pulses using LabVIEW

Abstract

Use of the best quality Cereals and pulses are very important for the satisfactory production of a good crop, food processing and also essential for the exporting markets. Based on the purity and quality of cereals and pulses, they are graded. In this project, we use LabVIEW for digital image processing techniques for testing the shape and size of various cereals and pulses. Also, the presence of dust and stone particles is identified. According to the level of quality, the Cereals and pulses are classified into three categories which are shown in three indicators (Green-1st grade, yellow-2nd grade, red-3rd grade). This will be helpful to increase the speed, accuracy and decrease the time of testing. The wetness of cereals and pulses is determined for long time storage. For this moisture level is given to LabVIEW with the help of Arduino as a DAQ. The moisture alert buzzer is triggered by LabVIEW.
