Image-based maize-flake quality grading

Grade a flake sample
from a single photo.

Point a camera at a spread of flakes and get an instant breakdown across the eight quality grades — pure, embryo, bran, unpolished, broken, small, hard and joint. Built to make quality checks fast, consistent and repeatable across every shift.

How it works

Four steps, about thirty seconds

No lab glassware, no manual sorting for a routine check — just a clear photo and a decision you can act on.

1

Capture

Lay a scoop of flakes in a single layer on a plain board and take one clear, even-lit photo.

2

Detect

The app finds every individual flake in the frame and separates it from the background.

3

Classify

Each flake is sorted into one of the eight quality grades the mill already uses.

4

Report

You get a purity score, a full composition breakdown and the defects to watch.

Step 1 · The grading standard

The eight flake grades

Every flake is measured against Pure — the clean, fully-formed flake you want to sell. The other seven are the deviations the mill pulls out. Here's what each looks like and why it matters.

Step 2 · Capture guide

Shoot a photo the app can grade

The quality of the grade depends on the quality of the photo. A good frame takes fifteen seconds to set up and makes every result trustworthy.
