cantaloupe (cucumis melo) volume was measured using water displacement and image processing methods. the volume determined from image processing method was compared to the volume determined by the water displacement method using the paired samples t-test and the bland-altman approach. the paired samples t-test results showed that the volume determined by image processing method was not signific...

the objective of this research was to develop a suitable method for color sorting of fruits. accordingly, a color-sorting system was designed and a prototype developed and then tested. this system includes an optic head which is designed to develop a reflection of the fruit. output of the head is then processed in an electronic control system which generates the appropriate signal for ejection ...

Automation of fruit recognition and classification is an interesting application of computer vision. Traditional fruit classification methods have often relied on manual operations based on visual ability and such methods are tedious, time consuming and inconsistent. External shape appearance is the main source for fruit classification. In recent years, computer machine vision and image process...

This paper presents a computer vision based system for automatic detection and sorting of fruits. Detection is important because it is fully automated system, sometimes input to system may be other than fruit which is having same color and size as that of particular fruit. In this work we are capturing two images to make our system more accurate and cover maximum area of fruit. Image analysis i...

The work presented in this paper is part of a system developed for fruit sorting. The machine vision unit is part of a distributed control system in which several machine vision modules can be integrated with a control module and a user interface unit. The machine vision unit is an embedded module based on a Pentium-III processor with an image acquisition card, with no user interface. Each mach...

The objective of this study involves the optimise process of a sorting machine for spherical fruits, which are currently manually classified with a low level of efficiency in Iran. An instrumentation system is modelled and fabricated for the development of a fruit sorting machine. Mechanical components and control system are assembled on a chassis for fruit transferring and classifying. A gravi...
