Abstract

The purity of product from agricultural cleaners (such as chile, cotton, bean, wheat and other crop cleaners) is needed to be measured under various conditions in order to adjust and optimize the machine at the design and improvement stages. The traditional weight-based method of measuring purity is time consuming, and requires much labor. In this study, we used image analysis to measure percent crop cover for the product output to infer the purity. Chile cleaner was used as one example machine to compare between Photoshop
