Abstract

Classification of real-time x-ray images of randomly oriented touching pistachio nuts is discussed. The ultimate objective is the development of a subsystem for automated non-invasive detection of defective product items on a conveyor belt. We discuss the use of clustering and how it is vital to achieve useful classification. New clustering methods using class identify and new cluster classes are advanced and shown to be of use for this application. Radial basis function neural net classifiers are emphasized. We expect our results to be of use for other classifiers and applications.
