Cashew Grading Automation in India
Challenges A cashew producer in India wanted to use image processing to automatically detect cashew grades based on size and remove low quality cashews.The company would need new hardware with a camera interface and a unique algorithm.The hardware would need to process 10 cashews/second, bringing a single cashew into a camera frame at a time. Xpertnest’s Solutions Designed a conveyer belt to deliver individual cashews to the camera, making processing and algorithm implementation easier and faster.Designed and developed an FPGA-based board to implement the algorithm and enable the high frame rate to process 10 cashews/second.Enabled continuous improvement with an optimised algorithm and...
