The rate of production of horticultural produce had been seen increasing from the past century owing to the increase of population. Manual sorting and grading of tomatoes had become a challenge in market places and fruit processing firms since the demand of the fruit had increased. Considering grading of tomatoes, color is of major importance when it comes to the maturity of the tomatoes. Hence, there is a need to accurately classify them according to color. This process is very complicated, tiresome, and laborious when it is done manually by a human being. Apart from being labor-demanding, human sorting, and grading results in inaccuracy in classifying of tomatoes which is a loss to both the farmer and customer. This chapter had been prepared focusing on the automatic and effective tomato fruit grading system using artificial intelligence particularly using artificial neural network in Matlab. The system makes use of the image processing toolbox and the ANN toolbox to process and classify the tomatoes images according to color and size.

Recent developments in neural network image processing motivate the question, how these technologies might better serve visual artists. Research goals to date have largely focused on either pastiche interpretations of what is framed as artistic “style” or seek to divulge heretofore unimaginable dimensions of algorithmic “latent space,” but have failed to address the process an artist might actually pursue, when engaged in the reflective act of developing an image from imagination and lived experience. The tools, in other words, are constituted in research demonstrations rather than as tools of creative expression. In this article, the authors explore the phenomenology of the creative environment afforded by artificially intelligent image transformation and generation, drawn from autoethnographic reviews of the authors’ individual approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) art. They offer a post-phenomenology of “neural media” such that visual artists may begin to work with AI technologies in ways that support naturalistic processes of thinking about and interacting with computationally mediated interactive creation.

Fruit grading is a process that affect quality control and fruit-processing industries to meet the efficiency of its production and society. However, these industries have suffered from lack of standards in quality control, higher time of grading and low product output because of the use of manual methods. To meet the increasing demand of quality fruit products, fruit-processing industries must consider automating their fruit grading process. Several algorithms have been proposed over the years to achieve this purpose and their works were based on color, shape and inability to handle large dataset which resulted in slow recognition accuracy. To mitigate these flaws, we develop an automated system for grading and classification of apple using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) used in image recognition and classification. Two models were developed from CNN using ResNet50 as its convolutional base, a process called transfer learning. The first model, the apple checker model (ACM) performs the recognition of the image with two output connections (apple and non-apple) while the apple grader model (AGM) does the classification of the image that has four output classes (spoiled, grade A, grade B & grade C) if the image is an apple. A comparison evaluation of both models were conducted and experimental results show that the ACM achieved a test accuracy of 100% while the AGM obtained recognition rate of 99.89%.The developed system may be employed in food processing industries and related life applications.

In India, agriculture plays a major role in the economic development. Agriculture must be able to produce fruit of better quality and grow at a faster rate. With the use of different image processing techniques, improvement in agriculture field for quality identification, sorting the fruits with different quality, irrigation becomes feasible. Major parameters considered are reduction in the time required and cost efficient, using Image processing. In this proposal, we have provided a technique to address the challenge of fruit grading using image processing techniques for smart farming.

The article discusses the possibility of including artificial intelligence topics in the informatics course at the level of secondary general education on the demonstration example of handwritten digits recognition using the Python 3.8 programming language and the TensorFlow package. A hands-on example of a classification problem using the classic MNIST (Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology) training example set is dealt with step-by-step.Most of the tools required for the work (language interpreter, basic libraries, and shell) are downloaded in the form of a single software distribution kit of Anaconda. The network is trained using different methods. When the model is trained, the optimization method, the loss function, and the metric for estimation are specified. Image processing by convolutional nets containing special layers, which "convolve" the image the way a bitmap filter does, is also demonstrated
