Fruit Quality Inspection using Image Processing

Instrumentation and Control Engineering

The recent application and development of image analysis in quality evaluation of products in the field of agricultural and food. Images are the important source of data and information in the agricultural sciences. The basic concepts and technologies associated with computer vision system and Automatic vision based technology, tool used in image analysis and automated sorting and grading is highlighted. In India the ever-increasing population, losses in handling and processing and the increased expectation of food products of high quality and safety standards, there is a need for the growth of and objective and accurate, fast quality determination of food and agricultural products. Computer vision is a rapid, economic, consistent and objective inspection technique, which has expanded into many diverse industries. The process consist of speed and accuracy satisfy ever increasing production and quality requirements, hence aiding in the development of totally automated processes. The non-destructive method of inspection has found applications in the agricultural and food industry, including the inspection of quality and grading of fruit and vegetable.
