Abstract

A system based on acoustic resonance and combined with pattern recognition was attempted to discriminate cracks in eggshell. Support vector data description (SVDD) was employed to solve the classification problem due to the imbalanced number of training samples. The frequency band was between 1,000 and 8,000 Hz. Recursive least squares adaptive filter was used to process the response signal. Signal-to-noise ratio of acoustic impulse response was remarkably enhanced. Five characteristics descriptors were extracted from response frequency signals, and some parameters were optimized in building model. Experiment results showed that in the same condition SVDD got better performance than conventional classification methods. The performance of SVDD model was achieved with crack detection level of 90% and a false rejection level of 10% in the prediction set. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the acoustic resonance system combined with SVDD has significant potential in the detection of cracked eggs.
