Fruits which grow with high yield in many states of India are rich in proteins. But due to addition of excess pesticides and chemicals intake of these fruits lead to serious health problems. It is necessary to identify the presence of chemical in the fruits before consuming it. In this project we have planned to develop an image processing technique to analyze whether the fruit is free from chemicals and fungus. In our paper, we have implemented MATLAB used as well as fungus present in the fruit. We capture the images of the fruit or we use datasets and train the database with different color-based changes that happen after adding chemicals to the fruit. The enhancement process is carried out in the captured image. Then image is segmented to hit the regions with affected spots in the fruit. K-means method is used to carry out the segmentation process. The input image is compared with the given data set for training to identify the images. In this way unhealthy fruits can be identified and the affected spots in the fruit can be detected.


Traffic light detection is crucial to decrease the traffic light accidents at intersections and to realize autonomous driving. There are so many existing methods to detect traffic light. However, these approaches have several limitations, such as not function well in complex driving environments. Hence, to overcome such constraints, the traffic light detection for the autonomous vehicle using image processing technique is proposed. The experiments are carried out using 114 scene images that consist of 209 traffic lights with different angles, weather conditions, and distance. An image processing technique, Hough Circle Transform is used in this traffic light detection system with the help of Gaussian blurring and Sobel filter. So, the overall accuracy rate for the proposed algorithm is 75.59%. This system is possible to be used in urban areas or complex environments, whether it is at night or day, and it able to detect the traffic light regardless of the colour changes.

In this paper, we proposed an image processing technique for automatic real time fire and smoke detection in tunnel environment. To avoid the large scale of damage of fire occurring in the tunnel, it is necessary to have a system to sense and minimize the incident as fast as possible. However it is impossible for human observation of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) in tunnel for 24 h. So if the fire and smoke detection system through image processing can warn a fire, it will be very convenient, and it can be possible to minimize damage even when no one is in front of the monitor. The fire and smoke detection is different from forest fire detection as there are elements such as car and tunnel lights and others that are different from the forest environment so an indigenous algorithm has to be developed. The two algorithms proposed in this paper are able to detect the exact position at the earlier stage of incident. In addition, by comparing properties of each algorithm throughout experiment, we have proved the validity and efficiency of proposed algorithm.

One of the advantages of scanning electron microscopy is the capability for processing the image contrast, i.e., the image processing technique. Crewe et al were the first to apply this technique to a field emission scanning microscope and show images of individual atoms. They obtained a contrast which depended exclusively on the atomic numbers of specimen elements (Zcontrast), by displaying the images treated with the intensity ratio of elastically scattered to inelastically scattered electrons. The elastic scattering electrons were extracted by a solid detector and inelastic scattering electrons by an energy analyzer. We noted, however, that there is a possibility of the same contrast being obtained only by using an annular-type solid detector consisting of multiple concentric detector elements.

Image processing technique in general, involves the application of signal processing on the input image for isolating the individual color plane of an image. It plays an important role in the image analysis and computer version. This paper compares the efficiency of two approaches in the area of finding breast cancer in medical image processing. The fundamental target is to apply an image mining in the area of medical image handling utilizing grouping guideline created by genetic algorithm. The parameter using extracted border, the border pixels are considered as population strings to genetic algorithm and Ant Colony Optimization, to find out the optimum value from the border pixels. We likewise look at cost of ACO and GA also, endeavors to discover which one gives the better solution to identify an affected area in medical image based on computational time.

In earlier times fruits were sorted manually and it was very time consuming and laborious task. Human sorted the fruits of the basis of shape, size and color. Time taken by human to sort the fruits is very large therefore to reduce the time and to increase the accuracy, an automatic classification of fruits comes into existence.To improve this human inspection and reduce time required for fruit sorting an advance technique is developed that accepts information about fruits from their images, and is called as Image Processing Technique.
