Identification of Cracks in Eggs Shell Using Computer Vision and Hough Transform
Abstract
Egg
crack is one the main challenges that should be identified before sending it to
market. In one hand, cracked eggs have strong potential in taking bacterial
contamination and also they cause negative effects on the other intact eggs at
packages so that this contamination endanger human’s health. The objective of
the current study was to propose a computerized method as an accurate, non-
destructive and a fast method to identify the eggshell
cracks. In order to detect the defects, the Hough transformation as a confident
and qualified method with having the advantage of description based feature was
used in determining the line in the
images with assuming cracks as lines. The dataset consisted of 80 eggs which were included 45 healthy and 35 cracked eggs
where taken images under controlled conditions. The cracks on the egg shells were
identified by applying common preprocessing operations, a Canny edge detector and finally Hough
transform. In the analysis section, the linear
discriminant analysis was used to classify healthy samples from cracked ones.
The results demonstrated satisfactory of the proposed approach in
identification and classification of intact and cracked eggs so that we were able to reach 90.1% of accuracy in correct identification. The time for
identifying the cracks in each egg was obtained 0.7 seconds.
