Abstract:

In recent years automatic vision based technology has become more powerful and more efficient to many areas including agricultural fields and food industry. An automatic vision based system for sorting and grading offruit like cherry and strawberry based on their maturity level discussed here. The most common property to measure quality of any fruit is its appearance which includes colour, shape, size and surface conditions. The analysis of colour is especially an important consideration when determining the efficiency of fruit. This study used an inexpensive method to predict cherry and strawberry color parameters by combining image processing and artificial neural network (ANN) technique. The automatic vision based technology consisted of a CCD camera for image acquisition, MATLAB software for image analysis and ANN for modeling.
