The geometric characteristics of the Altari radish were measured for the purpose of mechanization of the kimchi processing. In this study, geometric characteristics such as the sectional area and volume of the radishes(pyeong-gang and sa-chul) were calculated using the image processing method, and physical properties such as the compressive strength, the cutting force of the radish and the torsional moment of the radish leaf-stems were measured by using a universal testing machine. In case of the radish(pyeong-gang), the weight was ranged 215.0∼465.0 g, the length of the radishes(body) was 86.3∼129.2 mm, the diameters were 43.3∼58.1 mm, and the length of the leaves was 261.3-368.2 mm. And the vertical compressive strengths were ranged 83.8∼171.7 N/$ extrm{cm}^2$, the horizontal compressive strengths were 113.0∼176.3 N/$ extrm{cm}^2$, the shearing forces were 86.0∼114.6 N, and the surface hardness was ranged 51.1∼52.1 N/$ extrm{cm}^2$. In case of the radish(sa-chul), the weight was ranged 203.5∼412.2 g, the length of the bodies was 67.5∼127.0 mm, the diameters were 22.3∼59.8 mm and the length of the leaves was 245.6∼312.6 mm respectively. And the vertical compressive strengths were ranged 91.3∼168.3 N/mm, the horizontal compressive strengths were 132.6∼186.9 N/$ extrm{cm}^2$, the shearing forces were 89.4∼116.5 N, and the surface hardness was ranged 52.4∼67.8 N/$ extrm{cm}^2$, respectively.
