Recently, rapid and nondestructive technologies have been developed in the qualification of food products. This research aimed to design and develop an egg qualifying system based on dielectric technology in the range of radio frequency (40 kHz to 20 MHz), machine vision, and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques. Haugh unit, yolk index, yolk/albumen ratio, and yolk weight were studied as quality factors of egg. The designed electronic device was calibrated and evaluated for prediction of the mentioned parameters. The coefficient of determination (R (2)) values in the validation of the ANN were 0.998, 0.998, 0.998, and 0.994 for the Haugh unit, yolk index, yolk/albumen, and yolk weight, respectively. In evaluation mode, the mean absolute percent errors (MAPEs) obtained were 5.41, 6.84, 8.79, and 4.24 % for the Haugh unit, yolk index, yolk/albumen, and yolk weight, respectively. Results of the evaluation showed the designed device can be confidently used in the prediction of egg quality indices.
