Abstract

This paper introduces a computer vision-based system designed for the automated grading and sorting of agricultural products based on their size and maturity. The proposed machine vision system aims to replace traditional manual methods commonly used for sorting and grading fruits. Manual inspection often struggles to ensure consistency in grading and uniformity in sorting. To address these challenges and enhance the quality of fruit grading, image processing and machine learning algorithms can be employed. Key attributes such as the fruit’s shape, color, and size can be analyzed to enable a non-destructive approach to classification and grading. Automation of these processes becomes feasible when standardized criteria for grading are established. Such systems offer faster operations, save time, and reduce manual labor, making them highly valuable to meet the increasing demand for premium-quality agricultural produce.
