An automatic sorting system for unwashed eggs using deep learning

Egg quality and safety are significant concerns of consumers and modern food industries. This study proposes a novel and precise assessment of egg sorting using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN), which is a state-of-the-art computer vision method to perform classification tasks. To classify unwashed egg images, VGG16 architecture was modified by a global average pooling layer, dense layers, a batch normalization layer, and a dropout...
