Implementing an egg candling process using image comparison techniques
Candling is a method used in embryology to study the growth and development of an embryo inside an egg. The method uses a bright light source behind the egg to show details through the shell, and is so called because the original sources of light use were candles. The technique of using light to exa...

| Summary: | Candling is a method used in embryology to study the growth and development of an embryo inside an egg. The method uses a bright light source behind the egg to show details through the shell, and is so called because the original sources of light use were candles. The technique of using light to examine is used in the egg industry to assess the potency of eggs whether it is fertile of infertile.
The project generally will focus on the sorting of good and bad eggs, hatch-able or not, through an Egg Candling process. The project leans on the Digital Image Processing which includes capturing images from the egg and analyzing it through a template store within the Personal Computer.
Based on the gathered data, the system was able to achieve an accuracy of 91.67% and a candling rate of 13.25 per minute. To increase the rate of candling, the system should be implemented in a large scale application and to implement multiple cameras. |
