Fruit Quality Detection and Gradation

Abstract

Grading and classification of fruits is based on observations and through experiences. The system exerts image- processing techniques for classification and grading the quality of fruits. Two-dimensional fruit images are classified on shape and color-based analysis methods. However, different fruit images have different or same color and shape values. Hence, using color or shape analysis methods are still not that much effective enough to identify and distinguish fruits images. Therefore, computer vision and image processing techniques have been found increasingly useful in the food industry, especially for applications in quality detection. Research in this area indicates the feasibility of using computer vision systems to improve product quality, the use of computer vision for the inspection of food has increased during recent years. This proposed work presents food quality detection system. The system design considers some feature that includes fruit colors and size, which increases accuracy for detection of roots pixels. Histogram of oriented gradients is used for background removal, for color classification, support vector machine is used.
