چکیده
[57] ABSTRACT A ?exible system for determining the quality of agricul tural products based on characteristics such as, for ex ample, mass, shape, hardness, size, color and surface texture is disclosed herein. The quality determination apparatus includes a feeder assembly for sequentially dropping individual product samples upon an impact transducer arrangement. The impact transducer gener ates transducer signals indicative of the physical charac teristics of each product sample. In addition, an imaging device operates to synthesize a digital image representa tion of each product sample. The transducer signal and digital image representation corresponding to each product are analyzed so as to determine the appropriate degree of quality to be associated therewith.
