Abstract
A device for detecting offending features on individual granular objects or small objects. The device uses an image capturing system to scan batches of granular or small objects such as wheat, grain, rice, seeds, legumes or nuts to detect any undesirable feature such as disease, mold or spoilage. An action head on the device is configured to automatically respond once an undesirable feature is identified. The action head may capture the individual objects having undesirable features or it may cast them aside.
Claims6
A device for detecting offending objects, comprising:
- an image capturing device;
- an image recognition system connected to the image capturing device, the image recognition system being trained to recognize characteristics of individual objects within a batch of individual objects, the image recognition system being further trained to recognize offending characteristics of the individual objects;
- a moveable arm, the moveable arm deployable to the vicinity of an individual object having an offending characteristic;
- an action head provided on the moveable arm;
- and
- software configured to detect a presence of an offending characteristic on an individual object and to control the moveable arm to move to the action head to the vicinity of the individual object having an offending characteristic.
