摘要： The topographic surface features of a translucent object, such as a citrus fruit with a peel, are scanned and evaluated to permit the classification thereof according to its surface features. In the case of citrus fruit, the coarseness or pebbliness, puff and crease, ridge and valley, cuts, punctures, scrapes and splits, clear rot or sour rot of the peel is optically identified through digital analysis of the pixel scans and sorted based upon the peel surface quality. The object is classified by separating the scanned image of the fruit from the background image and removing the blackground image. A statistical evaluation of the image of the object as a whole, including both hemispheres of the object, is made to determine if there is any surface feature variation which might qualify as a defect or be a suitable basis upon which a classification judgement can be made. If there is, the object image is subject to high frequency or low pass filtering and thresholding of the pixel intensities to derive a refined image. The refined image is then tabulated or organized into neighborhoods contiguous to sharp transitions or gradual transitions to identify specific areas defined as blobs which, when compared against a given minimum area, shape requirement and/or width can be identified as one of the surface imperfections sought.

摘要： A conveyor method and apparatus for transporting and presenting plant products, such as fruit, vegetables, or similar articles, to a pick-up device on a packing machine which packs plant products in cartons by layer. The conveyor comprises a frame, a set of pulleys and belts within the frame, and a set of pre-formed, interchangeable pattern plates that are readily replaceable by alternative pattern plates. The method comprises loading the pre-formed, interchangeable pattern plates at a loading end of the conveyor and transporting them to a pick-up end of the conveyor where the articles are unloaded by a pick-up head on a packing machine.

摘要： A method and apparatus for labeling plant products based on laser activation of a color-changing compound is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, a nozzle sprays a coating of photosensitive material containing color-changing chemical component. An optional drying station is set up to optimize homogeneity and adhesiveness of the color-changing coating. A laser equipped with beam steering optics is used to image the desired mark on the plant product by inducing a change of color in the photosensitive coating, without contacting the plant product skin and at a high speed. An optional nozzle sprays a sealant coating after printing, for extended durability of the imaged label. In addition, an optical sensor detects the incoming plant product, determines its size and sends information for selecting the proper label to be imaged. An additional optical sensor can be placed at the end of the process to verify the quality and legibility of the imaged label. The apparatus described can be extended to multiple marking stations, which can be controlled by a central computer to allow for dynamic updating of the desired label(s).

摘要翻译：扫描和评估半透明物体（例如具有剥离物的柑橘类水果）的地形表面特征，以便根据其表面特征对其进行分类。在柑橘类水果的情况下，通过对像素扫描的数字分析进行光学鉴定，通过像素扫描的数字分析来确定粗糙度或鹅卵石，烟雾和褶皱，脊和谷，切口，穿刺，刮伤和分裂，透明腐烂或酸腐烂，并根据剥皮表面质量。通过将水果的扫描图像与背景图像分离并去除黑色图像来分类物体。对物体的整体图像进行统计评估，包括物体的两个半球，以确定是否存在可能符合缺陷的任何表面特征变化，或作为可以进行分类判断的适当基础。如果存在，则对象图像经受高频或低通滤波和阈值处理像素强度以导出精细图像。然后将精细图像列表化或组织到邻近的尖锐过渡或逐渐过渡的邻域，以识别被定义为斑点的特定区域，当与给定的最小面积比较时，形状要求和/或宽度可以被识别为寻求的表面缺陷之一。

摘要： A food slicing apparatus includes a container, a removable top, and a slicing device that includes blades and slides relative to the top. The top defines a patterned hole which accommodates the blades as the slicing device slides from an open position in which the blades are spaced from the top, toward a closed position in which the blades are disposed through the patterned hole. A piece of food that is placed on the top below the blades and is sliced by pressing the slicing device against the food and the sliced pieces are moved into the container by further pressing on the slicing device thereby pressing the frame of the slicing device against the food. The slicing device and top are thereafter removed from the container, and a lid is placed on the container to accommodate the food after it has been sliced.

摘要： A method and apparatus of sorting plant products based on damage to the plant products is disclosed. A beam emitter (102A, 102B) emits an illumination light toward the outer surface of a plant product. A beam detector (104A, 104B) detects substantially a single wavelength of a reflected light produced by the plant product responsive to the illumination light. A control unit (106) determines at least one of a presence, an amount, and a severity of damage responsive to the reflected light. The control unit (106) assigns a damage category to the plant product responsive to the determination of damage.
