Abstract

The proper grading of fruits is very important to increase the profitability in agricultural and food industry . In this paper, a scheme for automated grading of mango (Mangifera Indica L.) according to maturity has been proposed. The proposed scheme grades the mangoes in four different categories, which are determined on the basis of market distance and market value. The image of mango is given to the system thereafter several preprocessing algorithms like Grey-Scaling, Blurring, Thresholding are applied followed by RGB to HSV conversion algorithm and K-means algorithm are applied to get the final result.
