The GrainCheck 310 is a real-time, image-based wheat quality inspection machine that can replace tedious visual inspections for purity, color, and size characteristics of grains. It also has the potential for measuring the vitreousness of durum wheat. Different neural network calibration models were developed to classify vitreous and nonvitreous kernels and evaluated using samples from GIPSA and from fields in North Dakota. Model transferability between different inspection machines was also tested.
