The photographed data obtained by scanner 3 is handled by the image processing part 47 of control unit 4a, for every, is measured
Condition information (optical information) extracts the condition phase with outer shape, area, length, width, color, the slight crack of each brown rice etc.
The information of pass.
(3) differentiate process (step S3):
In addition, in judegment part 48, by the measurement condition information and preset setting condition information (for example, threshold
Value or standard curve etc.) it compares, to differentiate the condition of each brown rice, (whole grain is cracked rice, dead rice, coloring rice, underdone rice, worm
Evil rice etc.).The extraction and differentiation can be carried out by conventional analytic method.It is, for example, possible to use as Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2011-
The method recorded in No. 242284 bulletins or Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2000-304702.
(4) image making process (step S4):
In the described image processing unit 47 of control unit 4a, brown rice is made for every using the measurement condition information
Grain image.Image making process also can be set to be carried out by above-mentioned image procossing process.
(5) process (step S5) is shown:
The grain image of each brown rice made in described image production process is shown on the display 16 of indication mechanism.It should
Method is not particularly limited in display, for example, as shown in figure 4, can add corresponding number (mark on the grain image of each brown rice
Label) and condition, and the grain image of each brown rice is shown as list 33.In Fig. 4, while showing 40 brown rice, and
The lower part of the grain image of each brown rice adds and shows corresponding number and condition.
User compares the grain image for each brown rice that the display process is shown with the condition for being attached to this image,
Be able to confirm that in the differentiation process shot-like particle appearance condition discriminating gear 1 whether correct decision.In addition, when confirmation is determined as
When with the brown rice of the condition difference condition of expectation, user can easily change the condition of the brown rice.
The change method is illustrated using the flow chart of Fig. 5.Here, being represented in Fig. 4 its expectation of the brown rice of number 5
Condition the case where being color tablets but being identified as whole grain.User uses the input unit 18 for becoming condition change input unit 41, comes
The grain image of the brown rice of number 5 is clicked or touched, to be selected, identifies and believes in the measurement condition of control unit 4a
The brown rice (shot-like particle) (step S51) changed in breath change portion 44.Then, make condition selection 31 weight of picture shown in fig. 6
Folded display selects the condition (step S52) that change on the display 16, from condition selection picture 31.Alternatively, it is also possible to
Direct condition is inputted from input unit 18.In Fig. 6, clicked in four frames of condition selection picture 31, then selection coloring
Grain.After the selection, if click Fig. 6's resets key 35, the brown rice of number 5 passes through measurement 44 quilt of condition information change portion
It is registered as color tablets, and the condition of the brown rice of number 5 shows and be shown as " color tablets ", condition change terminates.In addition, grain image
Either one can first be selected with condition.
In turn, for differentiating unskilled user to condition, in order to confirm whether the condition of each brown rice is identified as
The benchmark image of sample for becoming each condition and the list of check object (brown rice) can be simultaneously displayed on by desired condition
On display.Fig. 7 is the example for showing whole grain, green immature kernel, particle, slight crack grain, colored parts grain as the benchmark image 32
The figure of son.As shown in the figure, the actual grain image of the brown rice after the benchmark image to each condition and differentiation carries out by visual observation
Compare, the user can also easily verify that differentiation result.The benchmark image can be prepared alone by user, can also be joined
Examine the record of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry homepage the explanation of term " check " and " evil grain, dead rice, the explanation of color tablets, immature kernel " in use
The grain image of each condition be made.
Therefore, the differentiation of condition can be changed as a result, still due to not changing setting condition in above-mentioned change method
Information (condition discrimination standard) itself, therefore, when dining room/take-away operator passes through shot-like particle appearance condition discriminating gear 1 to more
When being changed to the brown rice of desired condition and being checked again, then pass through the benchmark pair of the inspections such as condition based on agricultural product inspection technique
The brown rice is differentiated.Therefore, when differentiating that the hope such as skilled dining room/take-away operator pass through setting condition alone to condition
When information is differentiated, preferably change (amendment) sets condition information.Therefore, in the present invention, it is provided through the condition of Fig. 1

The structure being set on substrate identical with control unit 4a
(2) selection (step S62) of brown rice:
It will show that the picture (list 33) of the differentiation result of shot-like particle appearance condition discriminating gear 1 is used as grain selector
43, it is clicked etc. to the grain image of the corresponding brown rice for the condition selected in step S61, to be selected.In addition,
Input unit 18 can be used and select the grain image.In this case, input unit 18 becomes grain selector 43.Also, it is also possible to
The grain selector 43 is set to the structure on substrate identical with control unit 4a.Fig. 9 is indicated in step S61 selection " coloring
Grain " and select color tablets grain image state.When selecting the grain image of brown rice, with shot-like particle appearance condition discriminating gear 1
Differentiation result it is unrelated, preferred, users as often as possible select judgement should be determined as color tablets brown rice grain image.In this way
Selection, the setting condition information suitable for user's benchmark can be made.
(3) (step S63) is made:
Believe using only the measurement condition of each brown rice corresponding with the grain image of brown rice selected in the step S62
Breath, the production setting condition information in the condition information preparing department 46 in setting condition information change portion 45.At this moment, due to reference system
It is relatively good if sample size when making increases, therefore the grain image is more.It is able to use in production such as Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2000-
304702 usual ways recorded.For example, when making condition relational expression (standard curve) as setting condition information, it will be rough
The measurement condition information (optical information) of area, circularity, length, the width of rice etc. is used as explanatory variable, by brown rice
Condition (whole grain, color tablets, particle, slight crack grain, color tablets etc.) variable as a purpose, pass through linear point of multiple regression analysis etc.
Analysis or the nonlinear analysis of neuroid etc. make condition relational expression.In addition, the measurement condition information is an example,
Other optical information found out can be utilized.Moreover, linear analysis or nonlinear analysis can utilize well known analytic method.Separately
Outside, threshold value can be found out when making condition relational expression, can also only finds out threshold value.
(4) (step S64) is set:
Using the setting condition information made in the step S63 as new setting condition information, in setting condition information
It is set in change portion 45, by being stored in RAM4e come end setup condition information production process.Shot-like particle appearance condition is sentenced
The condition that inspection after in other device 1 carries out brown rice by the setting condition information of new production differentiates.Due to the setting
Condition information is the condition of the grain image and variable as a purpose for the brown rice that user oneself is selected as explanatory variable, therefore becomes
The setting condition information of discrimination standard suitable for same user.
Therefore, the setting condition information of the application refers to, for differentiating cereal etc. according to the measurement condition information
The information of the condition of shot-like particle, referred to as " threshold value ", " standard curve ", " condition relational expression ".
