Defect Identification and Maturity Detection of Mango Fruits Using Image Analysis

The image processing and computer vision systems have been widely used for identification, classification, grading and quality evaluation in the agriculture area. Defect identification and maturity detection of mango fruits are challenging task for the computer vision to achieve near human levels of recognition. The proposed framework is useful in the supermarkets and can be utilized in computer vision for the automatic sorting of fruits from a set, consisting of different kind of fruits. The objective of this work is to develop an automated tool, which can be capable of identifying defect and detect maturity of mango fruits based on shape, size and color features by digital image analysis. MATLAB have been used as the programming tool for identification and classification of fruits using Image Processing toolbox. Proposed method can be used to detect the visible defects, stems, size and shape of mangos, and to grade the mango in high speed and precision.
