Grain flake measurement system, grain flake measurement method, and grain flake collection, movement, and measurement system

A grain flake collection, movement, and measurement system, comprising:

• a grain flake collection device that comprises at least one valve configured to remove a grain flake from an external flow of grain flakes;
• a measurement device that comprises an image collection device configured to collect a grain flake image for analysis;
• a movement and selection device configured to take the grain flakes from the collection device and position the grain flakes at a measurement point;
• an acquisition unit configured to receive the grain flake image collected by the measurement device and perform a measurement of the grain flake thickness, wherein the acquisition unit is further configured to measure a discard measurement range and a calculation measurement range from the grain flake, wherein the discard measurement range is defined based on an end of the grain flake profile surface, and the calculation measurement range is defined from the discard measurement range, wherein the acquisition unit is further configured to calculate a grain flake thickness mean value, wherein the mean value is a mean of the values obtained for different calculation measurement ranges;
• and
• a command unit connected to the grain flake collection device, the movement and selection device, and the acquisition unit, in a manner whereby it controls them.
