<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow the volume of an agricultural product to be measured fast and with high accuracy. <P>SOLUTION: A volume measuring apparatus of an agricultural product comprises: light beam projecting means 2 for radiating a light beam which forms a linear emission line 6 extending on a surface of a massive measuring targeted agricultural product 7 in a setting direction; imaging means 1 for imaging the emission line 6; and emission line shifting means BM for shifting the emission line 6 on the measuring targeted agricultural product 7 in a direction crossing the direction of the emission line 6. In the volume measuring apparatus of the agricultural product, correction is performed by multiplying a correction coefficient by at least one part of an area, that is identified on the basis of an outer shape of the measuring targeted agricultural product 7 acquired from positional information of the emission line 6 and a recognized outer shape in which lines extending from both end positions respectively of the emission line on the measuring targeted agricultural product 7 to the opposite side of an incident side of the light beam are recognized as the outer shape of the measuring targeted agricultural product 7, for each position in a shifting course of the emission line 6 to be shifted, in order to obtain the volume of the measuring targeted agricultural product 7 on the basis of the corrected area at each position in the shifting course. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
