Seed holding device and seed classification system with seed holding device

摘要

A seed classification system is provided. The seed classification system includes a seed holding device and a seed spectral analysis system. The seed holding device includes a top surface and a plurality of wells disposed in the top surface. The plurality of wells are configured to hold a plurality of seeds. Each well is defined by at least one wall extending transverse to the top surface. The seed spectral analysis system is configured to obtain image data for one or more of the seeds held in one or more of the wells of the seed holding device and configured to classify the one or more seeds based on the obtained image data.

1. A system for classifying germinated seeds, comprising:
a seed holding device for holding the germinated seeds, the seed holding device comprising a top surface and a plurality of wells disposed in the top surface and configured to hold a plurality of seeds, each well being defined by at least one wall extending transverse to the top surface and having a bottom surface made of paper for serving as a source of moisture for the germinated seeds, the paper being customizable to accommodate the specific germinated seeds to be held; and a seed spectral analysis system configured to obtain image data for one or more of the seeds held in one or more of the wells of the seed holding device and configured to classify the one or more seeds based on the obtained image data, wherein the seed holding device comprises a top layer and a bottom layer, the top layer defining the top surface of the seed holding device and having a plurality of openings, the bottom layer having an upper surface defining the bottom surface of the wells upon which the plurality of seeds are to be disposed, each opening in the top layer defined by the at least one wall of each well.
