ANNADARPAN - SMART

The ANNADARPAN SMART is a non-invasive digital image processing technology based system for quality inspection of rice. The ANNADARPAN SMART system addresses this very problem for the Food Storage and Safety Industries (specifically for Food Corporation of India) where rapid quality estimation is an issue for bulk procurement of rice in daily basis.

Here user has to spread the rice grains in the sample spreading tray and insert into the system. Digital overhead scanner captures the image of the spread rice sample & transfer to the PC using USB interface. Developed “ANNADARPAN SMART” application software, processes the image, identifies each and every rice grain & various quality parameters of rice grain like good, small broken, big broken, chalkiness, redness, discolour, admixture, foreign matter etc are estimated using image analysis algorithms. Finally the software shows quality refractions of tested rice sample in terms of correlated weight percentage.

The methodology developed here is physical, fast, objective and affordably deployable at Rice Industries/ Quality control laboratories/ exporters.

Use Cases
  • Testing of rice quality by the Rice producers/Growers and Exporters.
  • Physical testing of new varieties by Agricultural Research Laboratory / Universities.
  • Regular quality testing of the rice sample at Food processing laboratories.
  • Food Safety & Quality Laboratories (Food Corporation of India)
  • Quality assaying of rice sample during procurement process at different Mandis
Salient Features
  • Detachable, enclosed metal cabinet, with computer based portable system.
  • Scanning device with USB interface for image capturing.
  • Large sample handling tray with manual sample spreading (can accommodate approx. 10 gm of rice sample).
  • User friendly graphical software interface for online image capturing, analysis, report generation etc.
  • Display of quality analysis results as per Indian standard.
  • Operated with laptop/desktop computer with Windows® operating system.
  • Parameters of rice grains can be stored in database with sample ID.
  • Representation of quality analysis result in graphical as well as tabulated format.
  • Report generation using .pdf format searching of report.
