Defect segmentation on ‘Jonagold’ apples using colour vision and a Bayesian classification method
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper shows how the information enclosed in a colour image of a bi-colour apple can be used to segment defects. A method to segment pixels, based on a Bayesian classification process, is proposed. The colour frequency distributions of the healthy tissue and of the defects were used to estimate the probability distribution of each class. The results showed that most defects, namely bitter pit, fungi attack, scar tissue, frost damages, bruises, insect attack and scab, are segmented. However, russet was sometimes confused with the transition area between ground and blush colour. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

This paper presents apple grading into four classes according to European standards. Two varieties were tested: Golden Delicious and Jonagold. The image database included more than a 1000 images of fruits (528 Golden Delicious, 642 Jonagold) belonging to the three acceptable categories}Extra, I and II}and the reject (each class represents, respectively, about 60, 10 and 20% of the sample size)....

10 In this work, several thresholding and classification-based techniques were employed 11 for pixel-wise segmentation of surface defects of ‘Jonagold’ apples. Observations 12 showed that segmentation by supervised classifiers was more accurate than the 13 rest. Also, average of class-specific recognition errors was more reliable than error 14 measures based on defect size or global recognition...

متن کاملDefects segmentation on ‘Golden Delicious’ apples by using colour machine vision
A method based on colour information is proposed to detect defects on ‘Golden Delicious’ apples. In a first step, a colour model based on the variability of the normal colour is described. To segment the defects, each pixel of an apple image is compared with the model. If it matches the pixel, it is considered as belonging to healthy tissue, otherwise as a defect. Two other steps refine the seg...
