Tóm tắt

This study was conducted with the objective of implementing a smart IoT (internet of things) factory consisting of an automatic 6-year-old fresh ginseng grade classification device. Conventionally, washed 6-year-old ginseng from farmlands is manually sorted into three grades using classification criteria such as weight and shape. However, the cost associated with this classification process has been on the increase. Consequently, to reduce this associated cost, we developed an automatic ginseng sorting device that classifies 6-year-old ginseng according to weight and shape via image processing and sends the classification results to a factory server over a network. Evaluations conducted of the performance of the developed machine using 100 units of 6-year-old ginseng showed that it has a high recognition rate, with an accuracy of 94% for Grade 1, 98% for Grade 2, and 90% for Grade 3.
