Image Processing for Fruit Grading

Abstract

Image processing is one of the widely used applications. In India, the demand for various fruits and vegetables are increasing as population grows. Researchers have developed numerous algorithms for quality grading and sorting of fruits. the objective of the paper is to provide introduction to machine learning and color based grading algorithms, its components and current work reported on an automatic fruit grading system. This research work present identification of good and bad vegetable is focused on the image processing techniques like segmentation and classification. Due to cost and inaccurate process, sorting ton of quality fruits to produce food products made from fruits is an another problem that is faced by most of the agricultural industries. First extract certain features from input vegetable image, later using different method like thresholding, segmentation using k-means clustering and classification using SVM (Support Vector Machine) and ANN (Artificial Neural Network). It gives result in accuracy percentage.
