Filed:

Oct 25, 2013

Appl. No.:

14/063500

Inventors:

Paul L. Falkenstein - West Chester PA, US
Michael David Coleman - Glen Mills PA, US
Xiaolei Hu - Aurora IL, US

Assignee:

BALL HORTICULTURAL COMPANY - West Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382110

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to a method and system that models a seed structure and uses a spectral analysis to identify which morphological seed structures are existent in the seed/seedling. Additionally, this disclosure relates to a method and system that applies multi-spectral analysis using predetermined models of a seed/seedling to identify which morphological structures are existent in the seed/seedling. The information about the existence or non-existence of structures of the seed/seedling is used to classify the seed as having a specific characteristic, for later commercial use or sale. The seed market determines which specific characteristic the method will use to classify the seed/seedling. The individual seed classification may help determine associated seed lot germination values.
