Review on the Application of Machine Vision Algorithms in Fruit Grading Systems

Machine vision for precision agriculture has attracted considerable research interest in recent years. The aim of this paper is to review the most recent work in the application of machine vision to agriculture, mainly for crop farming. This study can serve as a research guide for the researcher and practitioner alike in applying cognitive technology to agriculture. Studies of different agricultural activities that support crop harvesting are reviewed, such as fruit grading, fruit counting, and yield estimation. Moreover, plant health monitoring approaches are addressed, including weed, insect, and disease detection. Finally, recent research efforts considering vehicle guidance systems and agricultural harvesting robots are also reviewed.

<span lang="TR">Late advancement in Agriculture segment utilizing Image preparing and fuzzy logic methods has empowered ranchers to expand the yield of harvest and served the nourishment needs of the whole people. Look into in horticulture is pointed towards increment in the profitability, quality and lessening the likelihood of blunder presented by people. The biggest oil palm creation is in Malaysia and Indonesia and they send out palm oil to different nations on the planet. The most outrageous enthusiasm for palm oil is in India. This came to fruition India into Palm Oil advancement and era in various states . With a specific end goal to expand the efficiency of palm oil organic products, palm oil industry and in addition analysts utilizes different machine-vision systems to review the natural products. Tragically, the information caught and prepared is confronted with restricted learning and accuracy. There are a few difficulties required with the outline and usage of palm oil organic product reviewing. This paper introduces an outline of different Image handling and fuzzy logic methods, distinguishes and addresses testing issues in computerized palm natural product evaluating.</span>

Processing Techniques

Agriculture plays a major part in the economic growth of India . As there is high demand for quality fruits in the market fruit grading process is considered as very important. Fruit grading by a human may cause inefficient and it may also leads to some error. Another problem is labour intensive and to solve the above problems agricultural industries introduce many automated grading systems. In this paper a concept was introduced to get quality fruits by observing its color, measuring its size and weight. Due to cost and inaccurate process, sorting tons of quality fruits to produce food products made from fruits is an another problem that is faced by most of the agricultural industries. Here a sorting process is introduced where the image of the fruit is captured and analyzed using image processing techniques and the defected fruit is discarding by this process. The main aim of this paper is to do the quality check of the fruits within a short span of time.

There are many types of citrus fruit grading machine with machine vision capability. While most of them sort fruit by size, shape and color, detection of fruit rot remains challenging because their colors are similar with normal parts. Objectives of this research were to investigate if fluorescence would be a good indicator of the fruit rot, and to develop an economical solution to add the rot inspection capability to an existing machine vision fruit inspection station. A machine vision system consisting of a pair of white and UV LED lighting devices and a color CCD camera was proposed for the orange fruit grading task. Since the time lag between the color and fluorescence image captures was short (14 ms), it was possible to inspect color, shape, size, and rot of a fruit on the move before it leaves an existing industrial inspection chamber.
