| Abstract : | Abstract. X-ray method to determine internal damage of seed, mainly its endosperm, was used. A roentgenogram obtained by this method was analysed manually only (at present time). Number of cracks, size and location was assessed for each kernel of sample. Kernels of wheat, barley and malt were used. An algorithm for analysis of biological damage of barley was used. In this case the surface of kernels of barley was damage. For quantification of the internal damage of seeds it is very important to obtain the clear roentgenograms for next semi-automatic processing. Current works are undertaken to computerize the analysis of the roentgenograms. |
