Abstract: Method for the inspection and sorting of pistachios through artificial vision means and by the rotation of the pistachios around their axis; thereby obtaining multiple images of different views of said pistachios. At the inspection stage, an analysis of every image is carried out for detecting the opening edges of the pistachio; the opening edges length and width are measured and the pistachio is sorted according to pre-established values for the length and width of the opening edges. Finally, the pistachios are conveyed through endless means from the inspection unit for collection, and the pistachios sorted by the inspection unit according to pre-established values for the length and width of the opening edges are ejected endlessly.
