... fabricated hardware of the developed prototype was divided into three sections: (1) the egg transporter section, (2) the egg candling chamber section, and (3) the egg sorter section as in Fig. 2a. The egg transporter section is where the eggs were being placed manually on the holder, one by one, and was then being transferred to the egg candling chamber section. The next section is where the eggs were being analysed and categorised as either fertilized duck egg (balut) or unfertilized duck egg (penoy) and were then being moved ...

... being analysed and categorised as either fertilized duck egg (balut) or unfertilized duck egg (penoy) and were then being moved to the egg sorter section. The last section is where the eggs were being sorted and were being moved to the correct egg containers. There were two containers, the left is for "balut", while the right one is for "penoy". Fig. 2b presents the inside of the egg candling chamber. (1) is where the camera was mounted; (2) is where the eggs were being positioned for image capturing and for fertility detection; (3) is where the proximity sensor was placed, and; (4) is where the light source was located. The graphical user interface (GUI) of the system was being ...
