This presentation deals with the measurement of breakage ratio and the estimation of fissures on parboiled rice by image analusis on unarranged grain samples. Hardware cost of the apparatus is low since it is based on standard off-thr-shelf scanner. In addition, open source (free) software is used to complete the experimental setup.
