Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of imaging devices, and in particular to an imaging device for automatically examining corn ears, kernels and cross-sections. Background Technology
[0002] The corn seed testing device analyzes the cross-section of corn, automatically obtaining the number of kernel rows, ear diameter, cob diameter, and average kernel length and width on the cross-section. It can measure the number of kernels, kernel length, and kernel width. Kernels with indistinct embryo tips are not measured in length and width; the final length and width of the seed are calculated as the average of the length and width of seeds with embryo tips. It can automatically filter out kernels with indistinct embryo tips.
[0003] In the current corn variety assessment process, black corn is too dark in color, and after scanning, the imaging effect of black corn ears, kernels, etc. is poor, making it difficult to identify and unable to conduct further variety assessment analysis.
[0004] To address the problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides an automatic imaging device for assessing corn ears, kernels, and cross-sections. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an automatic imaging device for assessing corn ears, kernels, and cross-sections.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An automatic imaging device for examining corn ears, kernels, and cross-sections includes a support frame, a backlight panel, and a scanner. The backlight panel is fixed below the support frame, and the scanner is placed below the backlight panel. The corn to be scanned is placed on the scanner and located below the backlight panel.
[0008] Furthermore, the support frame is provided with support feet on both sides.
[0009] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: The utility model is characterized by combining the lighting device with the scanner for imaging, which utilizes the backlight effect of the light. This can effectively avoid the problems of unclear imaging and difficulty in identifying black corn ears and kernels in conventional scanning imaging. The structure is simple and easy to assemble and promote for application. Attached Figure Description
[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an automatic imaging device for detecting corn ears, kernels, and cross-sections provided by this utility model;
[0011] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the usage status of an automatic imaging device for detecting corn ears, kernels, and cross-sections provided by this utility model.
[0012] The components include: 1. support frame, 2. backlight panel, 3. scanner, and 4. corn to be scanned. Detailed Implementation
[0013] The specific solutions and embodiments of this utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0014] As shown in the figure, an automatic imaging device for examining corn ears, kernels, and cross-sections includes a support frame 1, a backlight panel 2, and a scanner 3. The backlight panel 2 is fixed below the support frame 1, and the scanner 3 is placed below the backlight panel 2. The corn to be scanned 4 is placed on the scanner and located below the backlight panel 2. The switch is connected via external wiring.
[0015] The support frame 1 is provided with support feet on both sides.
[0016] The scanner 3 transmits data with the PC computer display terminal.
[0017] During the actual scanning process, the backlight panel 2 is turned on and placed over the scanner 3. The ears, kernels, and cross-sections of black or popcorn corn are placed between the scanner 3 and the backlight panel 2. The image is automatically scanned and captured. Various data of the ears, kernels, and cross-sections of black or popcorn corn are automatically measured in the software, which is convenient and fast.
[0018] Note that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
