THE AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS AND CLASSIFICATION OF DIGITAL X-RAY AND GAS DISCHARGE IMAGES OF WHEAT SEEDS DAMAGED BY CORN BUG FOR THE FORECAST OF THEIR SOWING QUALITIES

The experimental study of digital X-Ray and gas-discharge image analysis of winter soft seeds, normal and dam-aged in various degrees by corn bug to their comparison by additional indicators, characterizing sowing quali-ties of seeds (shoot and root length) carried out. Digital x-ray images of grain seeds obtained using microfocus X-Ray technique, gas discharge images – using gas discharge visualization technique (electrophotography). Measurements of shoots and root length of carried out with use of computer morphometry of the scanned sprouts of seeds. Classification of digital x-ray and gas discharge images of grain seeds performed with use of the linear discriminator of Fischer realized in the problem-solving environment MATLAL .General misclassification of the studied wheat seeds has made 38.09 % and 36.40 %, in cases of digital x-ray and gas-discharge images of seeds, respectively. Recommendations for increase in the received classification accuracy are offered.
