  1. EGG CRACK DETECTION SYSTEM

  2. INTRODUCTION • A system to be used in egg packaging in poultry farms with packing rates of 500 cases per hour. • To separate cracked eggs from good ones which is a tedious work • Efficiency expected to be greater than that of human • graders. • Using the technique of image processing .

  3. ARCHITECTURE Egg Cleaning Unit Drying Unit Image Capturing Unit Image Processing Unit Egg Rejection Unit TRACTION

  4. Egg Cleaning Unit : To clean the eggs using a water or air sprayer • Drying Unit: To remove moisture and dry the wet eggs using a blower under low pressure. • Image Capturing Unit: To capture the images of eggs at all angles • Image Processing Unit: Images captured are processed to detect the cracks . • Egg Rejection Unit: To reject the cracked eggs.

  5. DETAILED DESIGN WATER JET & AIR BLOWER Raspi CAMERA RASPBERRY PI MINICOMPUTER EGG REJECTION UNIT TRACTION SERVO MOTOR • 5 MP Raspicam • Raspberry Pi minicomputer, model B+ • Platforms used: • Operating system: Raspbian • Library: OpenCV • Servo motors.

  13. EXPLANATION • Microcontroller driven control system • Image processing exclusively carried out by Raspberry Pi minicomputer • Raspberry Pi acts as a slave to the microcontroller • Rotation of conveyer belt until encountering an egg in the camera field of view initiated by the microcontroller • Closed switch S1 indicates the presence of egg in the camera frame. • Laser based LDR system closes switch S2 • Egg presence in camera field, both switches closed, start image capturing sequence by signaling Pi. • Capture 3 images of single egg by rotation for 360 degree view • Process the images for crack detection. • Set rejection indicator flag variable in PIC. • End of image processing trigger to PIC from Pi • Loop back infinitely.
