Grain Counting Based on IoT and Image Processing

Abstract

This project aims to build a machine that would help the researchers of our country while they are developing any new seed, as they need to count number of grains produced using the SEED in an area and check its quality. Grain counting is very important for breeding. Main purpose of this project is to give the researchers a device that would help them with the counting and quality check process. This device will speed up the research greatly as Counting and quality check would be done from an image. This will also greatly reduce the cost of their research as they won’t need to go to a place and hire people to count & check quality of grains. This project is a 50-50 combo of hardware and software. Without hardware, software won’t work and without software, hardware won’t work. We used MATLAB as software and Raspberry Pie, Camera Module, battery etc. as hardware. An easy and user comfortable GUI is made via MATLAB & used as a software for capturing image and processing the image. Camera module is used to capture the image. The camera captures images and sends into a computer folder named “Counting”. Raspberry Pie is used as the CPU for the capturing part. Battery is used as the power source of Raspberry Pie and Camera Module.
