ABSTRACT
In order to classify the quality of corn kernels in an affordable, convenient, and
accurate manner, a method based on image analysis and Euclidian distance between
Eigen energies of segmented corn kernel is proposed. A total of 26 corn kernels are used
for the experiments. Experimental results show that the Euclidian distance between Eigen
energies and classification accuracy rates as 78%. It is concluded that the Euclidian
distance between Eigen energies algorithm better classification method. With a relatively
small number of samples, Euclidian distance between Eigen energies algorithm can
improve the blue eye detection accuracy of corn kernels.
Key words: Euclidian distance between Eigen energies, blue eye

1. INTRODUCTION
The drying of grain kernels is an important issue in agriculture that requires precise timing. Grain
kernels that are not dried properly may become infected by fungi, thereby greatly reducing the
economic value of the product. In popcorn kernels, one of these problematic infections is called
blue-eye damage and is caused by fungi from the Penicillium genus. Fungi can spread over the
kernels after harvesting if they are not dried rapidly enough. However, popcorn cannot be dried
rapidly with the use of high heat because it may crack and be unable to pop. If a balance between
the time until storage and the time for proper drying is not achieved successfully, kernels may
still be wet when they are sent for binning, thereby creating a favourable environment for fungal
infections to spread. Blue-eye damage changes the taste of popped kernels and causes consumers
