Vision based classification of fresh fruits using fuzzy logic

The paper presents a computer vision based system for automatic grading and sorting of agricultural products. The application of machine vision based system, aimed to replace manual based technique for grading and sorting of fruit. The manual examination makes issues in maintaining consistency in grading and sorting. In this research work, a method for sorting and grading of agricultural products like fruits has been proposed. The proposed system starts with catching the fruit's picture utilizing a digital camera. The acquired picture is then processed by using image processing, sorted and grading using methods of fuzzy logic. The classification of fruit is depending upon the object size and shape. Similar shape-size fruit misclassification can reduce by utilizing extra image features, for example, texture and colour. The results obtained are very promising.
